Freelance journalist Sig Conrad is shot in the head while elk hunting in the Oregon mountains. He survives but now his memory only lasts one day. A second man, Sig's old high school friend, is killed while swimming in Minnesota, the incident made to look like an accident. When Sig travels from Oregon to Minnesota for his class reunion, he finally starts to remember fleeting moments from his painful past. After another friend dies mysteriously, Sig's memory drifts back more vividly. Through the help of a former classmate and girlfriend, Sig starts to uncover a grand conspiracy of murder and political corruption. Clues lead to a fourth man who is running for the Oregon governorship-a man whom Sig had been writing about before he was shot. Will Sig recall everything before the killer finishes the job?

When your memory doesn't seem to last more than a day, you aren't in the best condition to uncover a conspiracy. "Drifting Back" tells the tale of gun shot to head survivor Sig Conrad as he's set forth in front of a rolling conspiracy that is claiming the lives of his friends. But, as a result of his injuries, he can't remember what happened yesterday or the day before. Racing against his own mind, Sig has to somehow overcome himself, pick up the pieces and find the truth before it's too late. "Drifting Back" is a fascinating mystery with quite the twist.

This book started off very promising, and initially held my attention with a strong story line. Unfortunately it slowed down and became predictable, the storyline eventually faltering as though the author had run out of imagination in the final third in particular. Still an ok story though, just not sure why the plot lost the pace and stopped keeping the reader guessing towards the end.
