The murders are unspeakable.

The sin unforgivable.

Has the nightmare just begun for FBI Agent Alex Troutt?

Alex was living the American dream. Until her violent crash.

As Alex begins her daunting quest to uncover the black spots on her memory, a dead body is discovered in a murky Boston bay. What she finds doesn't make sense.

The ritualistic slayings begin to stack up—and Alex is forced to plunge deeper into the investigation. Is she unwittingly falling into a trap? Just as Alex uncovers the killer's twisted motive, she's gutted: Her FBI and family worlds collide. And the resulting explosion tears her in two.

Can Alex piece together the jagged fragments to save her family before it's too late?

Packed with crackling suspense, vivid characters, and a twisty plot, AT Bay will leave you breathless and longing for more.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 26, 2023

Took me almost as much time as Alex needed to recover her memory to get into the thinking and actions of the killer in this tale. A lot of psychology in the reading with very few answers to my questions. Once she zeroed in on the suspect, it actually went too fast and ended with several open issues.

Terrific Read! Never would have guessed the ending. Alex's memory loss made for a great twist to the story. Definitely will read more of John Mefford.

Ending is Surprising

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 20, 2020

This is the 1st book that I have read by this author. The story begins with Alex in the hospital recovering from an automobile crash. She awakens and her memory has been impaired. She winds up with her former partner who has been assigned to babysit her. She discovers that she is married and has two children, Erin and Like plus a nanny who is in her 20's and doesn't seem responsible.

While with her partner, they are directed to go to a murder sight involving a drowned man. Even though she is recuperating, she gets involved more than she should and actually winds up going in the water to examine the victim. A day or two later, they are directed to go to a scene similar to the 1st. She again winds up going into the water and examine this victim as well. Later while following up on an investigation that she was doing prior to her crash, she winds up be shot at by a sniper.
She and her former partner have taken over the investigation of the drowning cases. In the end she finds that the sniper incident which related to the stolen artifacts at the museum and the drowning victims all were inter-related. By examining to information found in the museum catalog, they were able to determine a reference which correlated to the locations of the victims. They also were able to determine where the site of the next victim would be found.

The next victim wound up associated with Alex directly. To find out why the killer murdered these people, and what Alex's relationship to the last victim was then you need to read this book.

The ending brings it all in focus. The characters and story were well done.

I Was Drawn In But It Didn't Hit All Cylinders For Me

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 31, 2017

Verified Purchase

I was drawn in. The dialogue flows well and there is story here. The main character is a female FBI agent who experienced a severe head trauma with resulting amnesia. My husband experienced a severe head injury at work when a steel bar in a lathe broke in a weakness in the bar. It flew out of the lathe and hit him a glancing blow. If it had hit him full on, he would have been dead by the time he hit the floor. As it was, he suffered a severe concussion and he was unconscious for an hour. Thank God, he knew me and got his memory back and retains his job and ability to function normally. But it took weeks and he was not normal. For instance he tried to make coffee in the blender. He couldn't remember anything about what happened and about the weeks after his accident even though he was walking, talking and demanding to go back to work. I guess what I'm saying is that this character was NOT acting like someone who had head trauma that resulted in amnesia. She got up from the bed in a matter of hours after she woke up from a coma and went to work. She wasn't a very likable woman as she bristled at everyone. She had anger management issues as she was always wanting to lunge at men, break their fingers, break an arm, smash his nose into his brain, etc. She took an immediate hostility to a co-worker, Randy, but the author gave no real reason for it. She let her Nanny take care of her kids although everything the Nanny did was offensive, showed poor judgement and set of red flags. She didn't like the Nanny, wanted to kill her (anger management) but didn't do anything about it. Then there were the murders. So many unanswered questions. Why the duct tape cone and how was it fashioned? I couldn't understand that. Why was the 2nd victim mutilated but not the first? How did he pick his victims? I mean, how did he know which men fit his requirements? What did the stolen artifacts from a museum have to do with the tea in china. The ending happened to fast and didn't pull together the clues and give an explanation. This is the first in a series and maybe it picks up in Book 2 where they left off and you get the answers. But it aggravated me to come to the end without understanding the hows and whys. The author has talent but I hope it is honed in following books

Not great

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 1, 2019

Verified Purchase

I know this book has had some good reviews but I'm going to be a party pooper.
I couldn't take to the main character Alex, who just wanted to punch people's lights out and seemed snippy and snarky.
Her kids seemed to be awful, uncaring brats. Their mother had nearly died in a car crash but were they bothered?
So, within hours of her leaving hospital and having absolutely no memories ( although she could remember 'The Village People'!), she is back at work, being shot at, diving in freezing conditions and helping to solve murder cases. I'm sorry but at this stage I stopped reading.

"I think we should start from the beginning"

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 9, 2016

Verified Purchase

Alex wakes to a nightmare world, one she doesn't know - but which knows her. People claim to be her friends, her colleagues, even her husband. But to her they are all strangers. Who can she trust? What can she believe when all memory is gone?
This is the dramatic start to an excellent thriller. Not only must Alex find herself, she is also fighting to discover the perpetrator of a series of truly unpleasant murders. And as she grows slowly towards the unmasking of the serial killer, so too her personal memories begin to coalesce and with them comes even greater fear.
John Mefford has written a good killer thriller but the real success of this story is the way he is able to take us inside the head of a remarkable woman piecing together the clues as she struggles to rediscover her missing world. Definitely recommended.

Not particularly likeable heroine not particularly likely plot

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 16, 2016

Verified Purchase

Over the top portrayal of an "anything a man can do I can do better " female FBI Agent who having been nearly murdered because she had got too close on one of her existing cases has completely lost her memory. However her obnoxious personality does not seem to be affected. When anyone in a normal world would be forced into sick leave she immediately throws herself into some new murder mysteries and tries to backtrack on her existing caseload. She is surrounded by emasculated nonentity male FBI agents and of course solves all her cases and survives by the skin of her teeth. There is much better out there.

A great introduction

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 17, 2020

Verified Purchase

An amnesiac FBI agent trying to solve a series of crimes whilst fighting to regain her memory and her life. This isn't just another run off the mill thriller but one that takes you to the heart of the characters. Alex and her partner Nick make a good combination in a well written taut, tense thriller. This makes for an excellent start for the series.
Highly recommended.

Great Thriller series, genuinely un-put-downable!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 8, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is a great book, which starts out with a woman waking in hospital with complete amnesia, it gradually emerges that she is an FBI agent, married with children, and she had a car crash.
The story follows her attempts to find out how the crash happened and if it was connected with the cases that she was working on, and leads on from there.
I loved that the story was well paced with enough speed to keep it interesting but also allows for excellent character and location descriptions.
Definitely a great introduction to a lead character, and a great read - A genuine Thriller!
I did receive an ARC of this book from the author, but I liked it so much I bought a copy as well.
