Before I Go to Sleep meets Law & Order in an epic, thrilling crime story reminiscent of Memento, Breaking Bad and L.A. Confidential

David Sarac wakes up behind the wheel of a car after suffering a momentary stress-induced stroke. He has crashed violently inside a tunnel and awakens to find his whole world changed.

David works in intelligence for the Stockholm police, recruiting and handling secret informants who help the police in the battle against organized crime. And David is very good at what he does: manipulation, bribes and threats—anything goes, as long as he delivers. Other law-enforcement agents look on with envy from the sidelines, sharing whispers and rumours about the top-secret, high-level informant named Janus who is the key to David’s success.

But after the accident, David remembers nothing about the past two years. Not even Janus, the man everyone wants to find. David knows he has to re-establish contact with Janus in order to protect himself and his network of secret informants. Luckily, he is surrounded by friends and colleagues who are more than happy to help him remember. Or maybe to forget?

Previously published as Memorandom, Anders de la Motte brings his signature energy to a modern noir story that weaves together the criminal underworld, law enforcement and high-level politics—and shows us how deeply and irreversibly those worlds are intertwined, and that anyone can be corrupted—for a price.

From the Back Cover:

Previously published as Memorandom, an “action-f illled” (Booklist) page-turner that delves deep into a world of secrecy, corruption, and betrayal, where nobody can be trusted and nothing is as it seems. 

David Sarac works in the Intelligence Unit of the Stockholm Police Force. His job is to identify and recruit anyone who can help the police in their battle against organised crime, and David is very good at what he does: manipulation, bribes, and threats—anything goes, so long as he delivers. 

But after David crashes violently into the wall of a tunnel during a high-speed chase, he wakes up in a hospital with no memory of the past two years of his life. David only knows that he has to reconnect with one of his top-secret, high-level informants, Janus, before outside forces bring the whole network crashing down and they all wind up in grave danger. Fortunately, he is surrounded by friends and colleagues who are more than happy to help him remember. Or maybe forget? 

In this stunning new thriller, Anders de la Motte takes us inside a world where you never know who’s on your side, and where anyone can be corrupted—for a price.
