The Dark Chase

The book that gave Goodis his greatest success. James Vanning, artist, suffers through blackouts and hallucinations. He's not sure if he's even committed robbery and murder. A police psychologist says he's there to help, but only wants to entrap Vanning. Meanwhile, a bunch of crooks are after Vanning for the proceeds of that robbery he might have done.

First published 1947 as "Nightfall." Also published as "Convicted," and "Missing: Believed-Murdered."
