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. Jacket by Bill Tinker (illustrator). 1st Edition. First US edition, first impression with full number line. SIGNED AND INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR, IN BLACK PEN, ON TITLE PAGE 'To Chris, with love Roger Ormerod'. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners very slightly bruised, some slight yellowing to white parts of jacket, some slight overall dust and grubby fingerprint staining, not price clipped ($14.95), no other inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy. 208pp. Recovered, although still suffering from memory loss, Cliff returns to his hometown with no job, no home and no prospects. Also newly returned is Tony Clayton, a local garage owner who's just been released from prison after serving time for the attack on Cliff. Cliff's plan to forget the assault and rebuild his life is scuppered when the two men meet. Not only is Clayton adamant that he's been wrongly accused, his wife has gone missing, and he wants Cliff's help. It soon becomes obvious that Cliff's lost memory is the key to this and several other mysteries. And with the help of pretty Nicola Waldon, who has replaced him in his role as Social Security Inspector, Cliff starts to investigate the events of that fateful day. But Cliff's memory is patchy, and as he isn?t even sure of who he really is he can?t be certain of his level of involvement in the crimes that emerge. Faced with murders, disappearances, drug dealing and blackmail, Cliff and Nicola soon find themselves out of their depth. And very quickly 'A Death To Remember' becomes impossible to escape. By prolific mystery writer Roger Ormerod (1920-2005). Scarce signed. Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 009629
