Here is a gripping story of a man in pursuit of himself--a man suffering a psychological blackout who decides, instead of running way, to face his forgotten life and the riddle of his own character.
Charles Bancroft--although at first he does not know his own name--is the man who, in New York, surfaces from the depths of blankness. He is well dressed, his clothes are disheveled and wet--and his face is startlingly the face of a stranger.
And in the agonizing search for his identity he comes to realize, with compassion and terror, his failures and successes--and to acknowledge that he, or his other self, the other Charles, is responsible for and quite possibly guilty of the death of another human being.
