Synopsis:
Cryer once had another
name, but he can't remember it.
The man he used to be was
stabbed in the head by an assailant. After months of catatonia
Cryer awakens in a mental facility to find that his former
life is almost completely forgotten. He knows his wife and
daughter have been murdered - he saw them die moments before
his own assault - but his shattered mind is incapable of
retaining their names. Or even his own.
Now Cryer is free again
and trying to track down an elusive killer through his own
unknown past. But how do you investigate the murders of your
loved ones when you can't remember them? When you have no idea
who your friends or enemies were? Where you lived and worked?
And what secrets you might have once had and failed to
keep?
And how is he supposed to
deal with the little man who keeps crawling in and out of his
skull?
Cryer is a nobody now, but
that won't stop him from finding a vicious murderer and making
him pay.

THE NOBODY is a
dangerous exploration into the mind and soul of man.
Piccirilli’s beautiful prose allows us to take a peek into
the abyss of our
consciousness and shine a light into those
places that warmth has long
ago forgot. You
cannot read this book and not be changed.

Clichés: can't live
with 'em but, as I discovered when I read this
remarkable
novella, you can't live without 'em. Part vigilante
procedural
part hard-boiled PI yarn and part
examination-of-post-loss-survival weepie,
THE NOBODY is Tom
Piccirilli at his uncompromising best. The dialogue
is so
crisp it's like Leonard on speed, and the second and third
pages are the
literary equivalent of being hit in the face
with a shovel. A roller-coaster
ride? You bet. A
page-turner, even? Yep, no question. A palpable
atmosphere,
larger-than-life characterisation and impeccable plotting?
They're
all there. Like I said - clichés: can't live with
'em, can't live without 'em.

A revenge tale almost
Mythic in its simplicity. Shocking, tragic,
beautifully
written, insightful and nuanced, mournful and
uplifting - everything we've
come to expect from Tom
Piccirilli, done to perfection. From its brutal
opening
scene to its heartfelt final pages, The Nobody is
Pic at his finest.
