No Dustjacket. 223 pages. hardcover. keywords: Mystery California. DESCRIPTION - This is the tale of a man whose sanity and chance for happiness depend on his ability to…recapture his unremembered past. Forget the past, cries Paula, who loves him but doesn't understand. I've got to remember it first, is Bret's grim answer. Any reader who starts back into the past with Bret will remain trapped at his side, for lying at the core of the darkness of this man's memory is a brutal, unsolved murder, Kenneth Millar, who has aptly been likened to James M. Cain and his brethren for the fast-moving, hard-boiled quality of his writing, starts his latest work at a slow, steady pitch that builds up and up till tension and suspense reach an unbearable high, and then - with all the sudden surefire speed and violence of a roller-coaster descent - takes his story into action. inventory #10898 Bookplate in Front and Dustjacket Flaps Pasted to Rear Endpapers, Otherwise Very Good.
