This book seems to me like a book I'd love given the fact that I love crime thrillers. Congrats on BOTD!

With no face or fingers, Matthias is supposed to pick up the pieces of his life, settle his debts, and make a new carrier! That's a little too much to ask. I'm really intrigued to see how all that will happen.

In this crime thriller, a man wakes up in a hospital with his face and hands bandaged, tied to the bed. With no memory of what has happened, what will he do? Congratulations to the author for being chosen as BOTD. Thanks to the reviewer for your interesting review.

Although today's BOTD isn't the one for me, readers who like crime thrillers with elements of mystery, action, and adventure are sure enjoy Vol. 1 & 2 of the Callaghan series. Loss of identity, revenge, and discovery are a few topics that will keep you glued to the pages! Thanks for your review! :-)

I like thrillers and this book sounds like a very intense, gripping one with the main character who together with the forced new identity acquired a new personality as well, hell bend on revenge against those who wronged him. And later when he started to build a new life he realized that not all of the bridges were burned and if he wants to have "a life" he has to tie up loose ends. The plot seems so exciting. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

Fascinating storyline. There's always revenge after a revenge is carried out. Excellent review.

This #BOTD reminds me of the Jason Bourne movies. The indepth graphic violence seems to be a bit beyond my scope of enjoyment. Great review!

Feels traumatic, they assailants must have been very cunning. I'd like to find out more since it's a standalone novel. Great review

I desperately hope that no one will be offended when I say that I don't really see this book's enterteiment worth in current (reading) format. I think what we have in here is great tv series! Added visual part will certainty only amplify storyline to greatness!

This book sounds like an emotional rollercoaster as Matthias tries to rebuild his life only for his past to catch up with him.

I'd previously glimpsed into The Lost Casualties back in the day, and I agree that the author is a winsome writer. The plot thickens as Callahan's revenge spree sets him back into the woods. I'd love to how how he finalizes his past-lifestyle debts once and for all. Thanks for the beautiful review.
