James Purdew is quietly obsessed with his own past - in particular three years of his life, about which he remembers nothing. So he travels back to the city of H, where he lived during those years, and finds a familiar house, now derelict. Stripping the wallpaper from one of the rooms, James discovers the first chapter of "Confessions of a Killer", a 19th-century thriller, which seems to offer clues to a tragedy that took place in the house many years before, and one which James feel inexorably linked to...A journey into a mysterious world of fiction and reality, "The Amnesiac" is a compelling novel by one of Britain's most innovative young storytellers.
