Jason Bourne, a deep cover secret agent, found on sea-shore with a head wound. He has no memories of the past. The doctor, who treated him in small island, found a bank numbered account implanted in his body. This numbered account lead him to Switzerland, and unfolding his true identity. It is a GREAT spy thriller, a book of Trio.

on “Ask HN: Books you read in 2022 and recommend for 2023” ↗Robert Ludlum had many that were great. The original Bourne Identity got my family hooked. Beware the post death authorized books David Morrel also had some good ones. Brotherhood of the Rose was great.
