Manifest Recall by Alan Baxter

5.0

Take a dash of Goodfellas, a sprinkle of Memento, a teaspoon of American Werewolf and add Commando to taste - that is roughly Manifest Recall.

Part mystery, part paranormal and part psychological thriller, Manifest Recall packs in quite a bit in a relatively short novel. The story revolves around Eli Carver, who finds himself driving a car with a tied-up, scantily clad woman in the passenger seat. How did he get there? Who is the woman? And why doesn't he remember the last couple of days. More to the point, why the hell are the ghosts of people he's killed tagging along for the ride?

Eli is a bad man, yet somehow the author makes us (well me) sympathetic to his cause. The pace doesn't let up for a second (I read it in a couple of hours), and you'll want to know where the hell it is going, and how it all ends up.

My first Alan Baxter read, definitely not my last.
