The Bourne Identity

Book • 1980
The Bourne Identity follows Jason Bourne, a man with no memory who is found with bullet wounds and a microfilm frame implanted under his skin.

He discovers a Swiss bank account in his name and embarks on a journey to uncover his past.

Along the way, he encounters a Canadian economist, Marie St. Jacques, and must evade numerous assassins and conspirators.

The novel delves into a complex web of espionage, double identities, and a cat-and-mouse game with the infamous Carlos the Jackal.

Unlike the film adaptations, the book explores deeper moral complexities and a more intricate plot.
