ANNOUNCING A NEW BOOK
MEMORY by Donald E. Westlake
This is the first publication ever of Memory, a novel by Donald E. Westlake, discovered after the author’s death on January 1, 2009.
Hospitalized after a liaison with another man’s wife ends in violence, Paul Cole has just one goal: to rebuild his shattered life. But with his memory damaged, the police hounding him, and no way even to get home, Paul’s facing steep odds — and a bleak fate if he fails...
This final novel by three-time Edgar Award winner Donald E. Westlake is a noir masterpiece, a dark and painful portrait of a man’s struggle against merciless forces that threaten to strip him of his very identity.
The Mysterious Bookshop will publish a small hardcover edition of 200 copies in a full-cloth binding without a dust jacket.
The price is $29.95. Hard Case Crime is publishing a mass market paperback at $7.95
