Don’t forget this one — Mr. Nobody

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme. Read the rules and more teasers at The Purple Booker. Anyone can play along.

This week’s teaser is Mr. Nobody by Catherine Steadman. I’ve read a couple of this author’s books the last few weeks, and they are very engaging. Great medical or psychological thrillers.

Mr. Nobody is about a man with amnesia and the doctor — with a past — who is treating him. But this is not your run-of-the-mill bang-on-the-head amnesia case. It’s not even a run-of-the-mill fugue case. Well-researched and presented, you’ll enjoy the twist and turns of the plot. Interesting, well-developed main characters. An engaging read.

Even if we somehow managed to survive all that, I’m probably the only person who would be able to fix us afterward. I’m the only doctor with relevant clinical experience in a hundred-mile radius.

Catherine Steadman, Mr. Nobody

When a man is found on a British beach, drifting in and out of consciousness, with no identification and unable to speak, interest in him is sparked immediately. From the hospital staff who find themselves inexplicably drawn to him, to international medical experts who are baffled by him, to the national press who call him Mr. Nobody, everyone wants answers. Who is this man? And what happened to him?
