With \u003ci\u003eThe Amnesiac\u003c\/i\u003e, his United States debut, he incorporates a murder mystery and a forgotten manuscript into an exhilarating and intelligent novel. When twenty-nine-year-old James Purdew returns to England from his home in Amsterdam, it is to discover what happened during three earlier years of his life that he cannot recall. What he finds, in an old house with a tragic history, is a nineteenth-century manuscript that begins to seem less and less like a work of fiction-and more like the key to his own lost past. Memory and amnesia, fiction and reality, destiny and randomness, heaven and hell-all converge to form an engrossing gothic story that is sure to appeal to fans of Carlos Ruiz Zafon's \u003ci\u003eThe Shadow of the Wind\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cb\u003eSam Taylor\u003c\/b\u003e was born in 1970 and is the former pop culture correspondent for the \u003ci\u003eObserver\u003c\/i\u003e.  He is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Republic of Trees, \u003ci\u003eThe Island at the End of the World, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Amnesiac, \u003c\/i\u003ewhich both garnered rave reviews and critical acclaim.
