This is a wild and confused tale of a woman (Ophelia) who escapes her serial killer boyfriend, Marlowe by killing him and faking her own death. Of course, she has help with this. She has made a new life for herself and has a family of her own now. She is messed up pyschologically and she lasts roughly 5 years before she believes that Marlowe has returned for her. In order to save her daughter, she runs. The second half of the book is her flight and fight to survive.

This book slips from present to past and back again. Blackout is an intriguing mystery that keeps you reading if only to figure what the hell has happened. Lots of surprises and betrayals
