A dazzling literary crime novel from a CWA-nominated author as Sergeant Leon Geats - our savage yet sentimental guide to lawless 1930's Soho - dedicates himself to finding a sadistic killer; a decision that will echo for over half a century.

"After a shocking discovery, the police must unravel a mystery that horrifies the nation. Violently abducted while searching for a missing woman, D.S. Abigail Boone suffered retrograde amnesia - remembering nothing of her previous life. Defying the law to hunt those responsible, she now languishes behind bars. In desperation, police turn to Boone - who fears a connection to the disappearance of a child three decades earlier ... and a mysterious underworld figure whose name is spoken only in whispers. Freed from prison, what will Boone sacrifice - and who must she become - to uncover the terrifying truth?"--Publisher description

From a blistering new voice in crime fiction, PAST LIFE is a daringly original, razor-sharp debut perfect for fans of Susie Steiner, Ian Rankin and Joseph Knox. WHAT HAPPENED TO ABIGAIL BOONE? Waking up beside the dead girl, she couldn't remember anything. Who she was. Who had taken her. How to escape. Detective Abigail Boone has been missing for four days when she is finally found, confused and broken. Suffering retrograde amnesia, she is a stranger to her despairing husband and bewildered son. Lost in her own life, with no leads on her abduction, Boone's only instinct is to return to the deadly investigation that almost killed her: a baffling missing persons case that drags her to the darkest edges of human cruelty.
