Produktbeschreibung
Debut author Liz Lawler delivers a provocative and harrowing psychological thriller about a woman who awakens after an assault with no physical proof of the attack and must try to convince everyone of what really happened. When Dr. Alex Taylor opens her eyes, she is hooked up to an IV, restrained to an operating table, her legs raised in stirrups. Disoriented and alarmed, she assumes she's been anesthetized and brought to surgery after being in an accident. But the man standing over her, with his face hidden behind a surgical mask and wielding instruments, is no physician she recognizes at the hospital where she works as a successful and respected doctor. He's a stranger?and he's calmly and methodically telling her how he's about to attack her. Before Alex can even scream for help, she succumbs to another dose of anesthesia, rendering her unable to defend herself. When she comes to on a gurney, she finds herself surrounded by her colleagues and immediately reports the attack and rape. The police are skeptical of her bizarre story, and after a physical exam reveals no proof of any attack, even her boyfriend has doubts. Despite Alex's adamant claims, no one believes her, leaving her to wonder if she has, in fact, lost her mind. Until she meets the next victim. An edge-of-your-seat psychological thriller, Don't Wake Up is a provocative, timely exploration of victimhood, abuse, and the discrediting of women in our culture.
