Biography of daniel hayes by marcus sakey

It's been some time since we last heard from Marcus Sakey, but THE TWO DEATHS OF DANIEL HAYES makes it more than worth the wait. I first heard Sakey discuss this book in the most general of terms during a signing appearance almost two years ago. He talked about the puzzling beginning, which is intriguing, to say the least.

The Two Deaths of Daniel Hayes by Marcus Sakey

A man struggles onto a deserted beach in Maine, United States, after almost drowning but, far from feeling relieved, he realises that something has been left behind – his memory. He finds an unlocked prestige car, a set of dry clothes that fit, some money, a gun and an urge to leave. (I know - if it had been a British beach, I'd have given it 5 minutes before it was empty and the wheels were off! Sorry... I digress...) So, driving to a local motel, he tries to find some glimmer of a past or an identity. The car belongs to a Daniel Hayes, so that's what he'll call himself for now.
