The Bourne Identity

#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
