The Drowning Man
Michael Robotham
EIGHTY FIVE STEPS AND THEN DARKNESS.... She's gone. Vanished. Not from my memory but within these walls where water sings in metal pipes and soot-Staines bricks crumble at the edges. How can a child disappear in a building with only five floors and eleven flats? Everyone knows that Mickey Carlyle is dead and a man is in prison for her murder. Everyone, that is, except DI Vincent Ruiz who cannot stop searching and hoping. He is discovered one night clinging too a buoy in the River Thames with a bullet in his leg and a bigger hole in his memory. Under investigation by his colleagues and accused off faking amnesia, Ruiz's only hope of unravelling the puzzle is to retrace his steps and relive that night. But there are further dangers lying in wait and others ways for a man to drown....
This is the story off DI Ruiz, who believes that a child who went missing and was presumed dead, still thinks that she is alive. He some how ends up being found in the River Thames after being shot, Later when he wakes up in hospital he doesn't recall anything that happened prior to the shooting. He then enlists the help off psychologist Joesph O'Loughlin to establish what happened and why he was there that night.
After nearly being killed by someone while recovering in hospital, he discharges himself from hospital to return to his flat too find a large amount off diamonds there. With the help of Joe and a fellow police officer, he try's to retrace his steps and actions too find out why he has these diamonds and also why he ended up shot.
A highly recommended read, will keep you in suspense the whole way through.
