The Actor

Donald E. Westlake

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE

Donald E. Westlake's lost masterpiece MEMORY, adapted for the screen as THE ACTOR."An unsparing look at a man adrift, it's a fitting final dispatch from a master."--Time "Terse and bleak and low-key emotional... indelible."--Entertainment Weekly

THE CRIME WAS OVER IN A MINUTE - THE CONSQUENCES LASTED A LIFETIME

Hospitalised 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 never-before-published 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.
