Dead in the water / John Marrs.
"When Damon survives a near-drowning, his life flashes before his eyes. Every memory is crystal clear--except one. A dead boy. A face he can't place. A moment he doesn't remember living. At first he tells himself it's a trick of the mind. But everything else he saw was real. So why not this? With his waking life stalked by the disturbing scene, confusion quickly turns to obsession. Desperate for answers, Damon digs into his fractured past, and becomes convinced that the only way to remember... is to die again. And again. And again. When he meets a perfect stranger who's all too willing to help, the stage is set for his dice with death. But if this is what it takes to uncover the truth, maybe some memories are better left buried..." Provided by publisher.
After surviving a near-drowning, Damon experiences vivid memories of his life, including one unfamiliar and disturbing image of a dead boy. Unable to account for this memory, he becomes increasingly preoccupied with uncovering its origin. As Damon investigates his past, he begins to believe that recreating near-death experiences may allow him to recover the missing memory. His search leads him to form an alliance with a stranger who assists him in this pursuit, raising questions about memory, identity, and the consequences of confronting unresolved truths.
