Echo / Thomas Olde Heuvelt ; translated by Moshe Gilula.
"After a terrible accident high in the Alps, travel journalist Nick Grevers wakes from a coma to find that his climbing buddy, Augustin, is missing and presumed dead. But Nick claims to not remember anything-even whatever horrible event that led to his maimed face and the plastic surgery that leaves him still in bandages and feeling like a B-movie monster. Sam, Nick's long-suffering boyfriend, wants to be glad that Nick is alive and coming home. But the accident has stirred up terrible memories-and it's beginning to seem that Sam isn't just being haunted by his own mistakes or Nick's own trauma. Because it turns out that-though Nick was the only body airlifted off that mysterious peak-he didn't come home alone, after all. And now, their uninvited guest is awake"-- Provided by publisher.
