Description:
This
1934 thriller is the third book under Richard A. Lupoff's Surinam Turtle
imprint. A man wakes up in a park and can't remember who he is. But thanks to
the help of a couple of intriguing women, he manages to remain free from arrest
for a murder he MAY have committed. But he simply must figure out his identity
before the cops -- or the murderer -- catch up with him. The story was made
into a film called TWO IN THE DARK and the plot has been used in later films
and books (notably Evan Hunter's BUDDWING and a British film called HYSTERIA)
but no one has done it with the skill and style of Gelett Burgess.
