From Publishers Weekly:
A British civil servant, Cliff Summers, recovering from amnesia, and garage owner Tony Clayton, just released from prison after being convicted of hitting Summers over the head and obliterating his memory, play the leading roles in Ormerod's gripping new mystery. Swearing his innocence, Clayton offers to help Summers and a detective friend, Bill Porter, to investigate the dodgy case. Summers had been auditing the books at the garage when a blow knocked him out; his car is still in the service bay. But now the battered body of Clayton's wife Tessa is in the trunk. Adding frustrating angles to the mystery is Summers's suspicion of his ex-wife Valerie and her husband Michael Orton, Clayton's accountant. The narrative will keep readers intent on a series of shocking events capped by the revelation in the clever author's last two words.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First British Edition. BH2 - A first British edition hardcover book in very condition in very good dust jacket. Dust jacket has some wrinkling and chipping on the edges, light tanning and shelf wear. Book has some bumped corners, wrinkling on the spine edges, tanning and light shelf wear. Although not marked in any way, this copy comes from the personal collection of Otto Penzler, legendary editor and founder of the Mysterious Press, an award-winning icon in the genre. 8.75"x5.25", 208 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. Having spent fifteen months convalescing after being hit on the head with an adjustable spanner, Cliff Summers returns to his home town with no job, no prospects and no memory at all of the day he was assaulted. Also returning, after fifteen months spent in prison for his criminal assault on Cliff, is Tony Clayton. Cliff has no intention of trying to recall exactly what happened that day until Clayton himself approaches Cliff for help. Clayton's wife is missing, and he is convinced that Cliff - if only he could remember - would know why. As a Social Security Inspector, which he was until his injury, Cliff had access to the financial records, and secrets, of many people in the town. With the help of pretty Nicola Waldron who now does the job he used to do, Cliff reluctantly sets about trying to reconstruct that vital day. But each fact he uncovers seems directly - and often horrifyingly - at variance with what Cliff knows of his own habits and principles: as he slowly pieces the facts together, the jigsaw-picture of himself that seems to be emerging is one he does not recognize at all. Something terrible happened the day he was assaulted, and as one murder after another is revealed, Cliff cannot be sure how deeply he was involved. But one thing seems to be certain if he remembers too much, his life could be in danger. And Nicola's as well. This is Roger Ormerod's fifth exciting and complex thriller published by Constable. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Seller Inventory # 2206ec884
