A man wakes up in a cheap hotel after a night of excess drinking. There is the bloody body of a hooker on the floor. Her throat is cut and there is blood all over the man's clothes. All he can think is "Not again!". He has no memory of what happened last night. No memory at all but he had killed a prostitute in a hotel in the past and had no memory of that as well. A great beginning to this noir detective novel in which he evades the police and frantically searches for clues to find the killer, if it is not him and keep out of jail.
