The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum

We start this season in earnest with a classic Cold War espionage thriller, but I can’t remember which one. We read The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum. 

From the Bantam summary: “His memory is a blank. His bullet-ridden body was fished from the Mediterranean Sea. His face has been altered by plastic surgery. A frame of microfilm has been surgically implanted in his hip. Even his name is a mystery. Marked for death, he is racing for survival through a bizarre world of murderous conspirators—led by Carlos, the world’s most dangerous assassin. Who is Jason Bourne? The answer may kill him.
