The Mobius Man
Hunting Mexican guerillas, a CIA agent fights to regain his memory and stay alive
David doesn’t remember the bomb going off. In fact, he doesn’t remember anything at all. He was on a mission in Buenos Aires when the explosion sent a piece of shrapnel into his skull, and it missed killing him by a fraction of an inch. His memory in tatters, he returns to the United States to heal, meeting his wife for what seems like the first time. His memory will return gradually, the doctors say, but for now he feels like half a man—half a man who is about to take on a mission.
In Mexico, the CIA has been paying a guerilla organization to keep radical militants at bay. When their liaison with the rebels is found dead, David is sent to discover who killed him and why. Though his memory might never return, as he slips deeper into the shadowy world of Mexican outlaws, David will see things he’d just as soon forget.

The shifting identities of a Philip K. Dick novel wrapped in a C.I.A. thriller / mystery.
The plot reads like a PI novel, our amnesiac agent investigating the murder of an asset in tropical southern Mexico. Plenty of suspects emerge, but things are not as they seem as a series of dreams unleash the real mystery. Interesting characters, some great description and a gripping plot made this a very satisfying read.
This was for the 1982 paperback. No idea what edits were made for the 2014 Kindle release.
