Description
1. I’ve got the scar of gunshot on my forehead.
2. I don’t remember an entire year of my life.
3. My name is Kellen Adams…and that’s half a lie.
Girl running…from a year she can’t remember, from a husband she prays is dead, from homelessness and fear. Tough, capable Kellen Adams takes a job as assistant manager of a remote vacation resort on the North Pacific Coast. There amid the towering storms and the lashing waves, she hopes to find sanctuary. But when she discovers a woman’s dead and mutilated body, she’s soon trying to keep her own secrets while investigating first one murder…then another.
Now every guest and employee is a suspect. Every friendly face a mask. Every kind word a lie. Kellen’s driven to defend her job, her friends and the place she’s come to call home. Yet she wonders—with the scar of a gunshot on her forehead and amnesia that leaves her unsure of her own past—could the killer be staring her in the face?
“Christina Dodd reinvents the romantic thriller. Her signature style—edgy, intense, twisty, emotional—leaves you breathless from first page to last. Readers who enjoy Nora Roberts will devour Dodd’s electrifying novels.”
—Jayne Ann Krentz, New York Times bestselling author
Don't miss FORGET WHAT YOU KNOW, a brand-new heartstoppingly suspenseful thriller by New York Times bestselling author Christina Dodd. Perfect for fans of Karen Slaughter, Lisa Jewell, and Sandra Brown.
Advance Praise
Booklist starred review: “No one does high-stakes, high-voltage suspense quite like Dodd (The Woman Who Couldn’t Scream, 2017), and her latest flawlessly written novel is another guaranteed keep-the-lights-on-late read. From the unforgettable heroine with a past to the incisively etched cast of secondary characters to the brilliantly imaginative plot, Dodd is at her most wildly entertaining, wickedly witty best.”
Library Journal: Christina Dodd’s Dead Girl Running (HQN, Apr. 2018) introduces a woman running to the Pacific Northwest “from a year she can’t remember, a husband she prays is dead, homelessness, and fear.”

Kellen Adams works at a resort in the rugged Pacific Northwest, and while she’s resilient and tough, finding a woman murdered and mutilated, threatens to destroy the careful facade she’s built. Because Kellen is on the run from a past she can barely remember, from a husband who may or may not be dead. A husband who, she believes will finish the job that he started, the one that left the gunshot scar on her forehead. While Kellen tries to keep her past a secret, she begins to suspect everyone around her might have something to do with the murder. Would she even recognize the killer, or her own attacker if they confronted her? Dodd’s story is complex and tightly woven, readers will feel Kellen’s confusion and terror as well as her determination to protect herself and the people she has grown to love
Holly S, Reviewer
WOW. Still recovering from holding my breath while reading this book, without realizing it.....Its packed with suspense, great location and character descriptions. It pulls you in as a reader so completely that you'll find yourself yelling trying to warn the characters of impending danger. Christina Dodd has been one of my favorite authors for awhile and I was super pleased to be given the opportunity to read/review this book. I wasn't let down, although I did lose a fair amount of sleep because I couldn't put the book away.....
