The book uses the view point of the psychiatrist, Dr. Henry Bryd, and Jane, as letters to her baby son. Jane has perfect memory, except in a couple of cases and lost time.
Jane goes to Dr. Bryd because she had a day of lost memory, she didn鈥檛 know where she was or what happened and this was very unusual for her. The book tries to piece together what's going on as she has more of these "fugue states".
This does become an interesting case.
I had a strong interest in psychology when I was younger, which was why this book appealed to me for reading. It鈥檚 interesting how reading tastes or interests change through the years. In any case, this book is set up like a psychological case, which added to the appeal.

This is a new genre for the Gears, from their long series of Native Peoples called: North America's Forgotten Past. Instead of focusing on the historical past we have 鈥淎 Contemporary Western Mystery鈥� based in Montana and Wyoming, buffalo country.
The book starts with the murder of a very rich man and conservation lawyer Ryman Banks. Ryman runs an organization based on saving the purity of the buffalo. Along the way he鈥檚 made several enemies, including his soon to be ex-wife, who gains his estate with his death which she was not getting in the divorce.
This becomes a high-profile case for the state of Montana and the DOJ assigns a new agent Jillian Masterson. What follows is trying to piece out who and why Ryman was killed.
It鈥檚 a fast-paced book, as many of the Gear鈥檚 books can be. I read this based on my enjoyment of their historic series, but this type of book is not really my usual fare. While it was well written, and I learned about genetics and buffalo, I'm not a fan of police procedurals. For those who do enjoy this genre they will find much to enjoy here.
