Liv Ullman, on books:

Books have always been living things to me.

Some of my encounters with new authors have changed my life a little.

When I have been perplexed,

looking for something I could not define to myself,

a certain book has turned up,

approached me as a friend would.

And between its cover carried the questions and the answers I was looking for.

- Liv Ullmann.

Description:
 

This 1934 thriller is the third book under Richard A. Lupoff's Surinam Turtle imprint. A man wakes up in a park and can't remember who he is. But thanks to the help of a couple of intriguing women, he manages to remain free from arrest for a murder he MAY have committed. But he simply must figure out his identity before the cops -- or the murderer -- catch up with him. The story was made into a film called TWO IN THE DARK and the plot has been used in later films and books (notably Evan Hunter's BUDDWING and a British film called HYSTERIA) but no one has done it with the skill and style of Gelett Burgess.
