The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Meet Jason Bourne. He has no past. And he may have no future. The basis for the critically acclaimed major motion picture starring Matt Damon! His memory is a blank. He only knows that he was fished out of the Mediterranean Sea, his body riddled with bullets. There are a few clues. A frame of microfilm surgically implanted beneath the flesh of his hip. Evidence that plastic surgery has altered his face. Strange things that he says in his delirium—maybe code words. Initials: “J. B.” And a number on the film negative that leads to a Swiss bank account, a fortune of four million dollars, and, at last, a name: Jason Bourne. But now he is marked for death, caught in a maddening puzzle, racing for survival through the deep layers of his buried past into a bizarre world of murderous conspirators—led by Carlos, the world’s most dangerous assassin. And no one can help Jason Bourne but the woman who once wanted to escape him. “[Robert] Ludlum stuffs more surprises into his novels than any other six-pack of thriller writers combined.”— The New York Times Jason Bourne’s adventures continue: THE BOURNE IDENTITY • THE BOURNE SUPREMACY • THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM
