Two O’clock Courage

By Gelett Burgess.

Filmed as Two in the Dark (1936), directed by Benjamin Stoloff.

ASIN: B005D2SGQU
Published by Surinam Turtle Press.
Published 1934.
Hardcover.

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.
