THE MAN WHO STOLE TOMORROW

For twenty-three years, Daniel Cole believed his mother was dead.
He was five years old when a terrible accident took her away-and his father never allowed him to question what happened.
Until one night, a stranger called him.
"Your mother didn't die in that accident."
Those seven words destroy everything Daniel thought he knew about his life.
A hidden photograph.
A secret passport.
A message written by a woman who was supposed to be dead.
And a truth his father has spent twenty-three years trying to bury.
As Daniel searches for answers, he discovers that his childhood was built on lies, his memories were deliberately erased, and the people who claimed to protect him may have been the very people who stole his future.
But the deeper Daniel goes, the more terrifying the truth becomes.
Because his mother's disappearance was only the beginning.
And the secret hidden inside Daniel's forgotten memories could destroy everyone who has spent years hiding the truth.
They stole his past.
They tried to erase his memories.
They thought they could control his future.
But they made one mistake.
They forgot that the truth always finds its way back.
