Escape the Night
ByPublisher Description
Peter Carey was born into privilege during the McCarthy era, when the paranoia of Washington infected his parents' house and seeped into Peter's bones. His father was so obsessed with the family publishing business that he never had time for his son. Even as a teenager, Peter barely knew his father—and one dark night, an accident on a lonely road ensured he never would.
Peter's memories of that horrific night have been erased by amnesia, but decades later he is still tortured by nightmares. When a strange conspiracy threatens to steal his company and take his life, he will have to remember . . . and find the key to survival that is locked in his own mind.

“A somewhat intriguing plot pulls you into the strange mind of a traumatized amnesiac; portraying interesting characters and the rivalries that tie them together, Mr. Patterson does a good job. However, the background and the development of the characters, deter from the main plotline resulting in a sometimes too long book.Mr. Patterson introduces us to Peter Carey, a man surrounded by blank memories of a tragedy and the recurring nightmares that are barely accurate, who lost his father at an early age because of a horrific accident. As the past intertwines with the present Peter finds himself in the middle of a strange conspiracy that threatens his father’s legacy and his own life; Peter will have to remember and remember fast, overcome his amnesia if he cares to survive. http://littlesbooks.com/escape-night-richard-north-patterson/#more-843”
“Nie jest tak źle, ostatnie 100 stron w miarę wciąga i ta psychologiczna część jest ciekawa, resztę trzeba było przeboleć.”
