    Crime writer Matt Wells hasn't had much time for a career of late - he's been too busy fighting for his life. And now he can't trust anyone, not even himself. His thoughts are not his own - his subconscious has been infiltrated and a single word can trigger hidden orders buried deep within Matt's memory.
