The Pain Tourist

By Paul Cleave

This dream doesn't feel like a dream.
He tries to lift his head. Can't do it.
There is a doorway to his left, and beyond it a brightly
lit corridor. Somebody walks past — a nurse . . .

James Garrett was critically injured when he was shot following his parents' murder, and no one expected him to waken from a deep, traumatic coma. When he does, nine years later, Detective Inspector Rebecca Kent is tasked with closing the case.
But between that, and hunting for a murderer on a spree, she'll need the help of Theodore Tate . . . especially when they learn that James has lived out another life in his nine-year coma, and there are things he couldn't possibly know.
