SOME CRIMES CAN NEVER BE FORGOTTEN
‘BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN’ DAILY MAIL
‘A GREAT STORY TOLD WITH REAL POISE‘ SIMON KERNICK, SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
Detective Abigail Boone has been missing for four days when she is finally found.
Suffering retrograde amnesia, she is a stranger to her despairing husband and bewildered son.
Hopelessly lost in her own life, with no leads on her abduction, Boone’s only instinct is to revisit the case she was investigating when she vanished: the baffling disappearance of a young woman, Sarah Still.
Defying her family and the police, Boone obsessively follows a deadly trail to uncover the shocking truth. But even if she finds Sarah, will Boone ever be the same again?
From a blistering new voice in crime fiction, PAST LIFE is a razor-sharp thriller perfect for fans of authors such as Ian Rankin, Tim Weaver, Susie Steiner, Joseph Knox and Peter May.

It's gripping, addictive, a thrill of a ride. This is crime as it should be written. one of the best, original introductions of a protagonist I've read
A great story told with real poise
I really loved this...a twisting, heart-wrenching story with wonderfully vivid characters
Memory is at the centre of Nolan's bold and sharply written book...In a genre oversaturated by samey stories, Past Life is a dark crime fiction debut that feels fresh, smart and thrilling
A policewoman suffering amnesia must find the truth about her own violent kidnapping in Dominic Nolan's thrilling, roller coaster debut. Tense, gripping and full of twists and turns, this read will keep you on the edge of your seat.
A smart, distinctive debut
A beautifully written debut...
An astonishing debut
I loved it. Boone is such a compelling character. It's taut, beautifully written and at some points the tension is almost too much to bear
A smart debut from a distinctive new voice
