The Last Thing I Remeber by Andrew Klavan

Truman Nominee 2011-2012
I normally have a picture of the book cover--unfortunately  it is not working...Is this a conspiracy? 
Are the homelanders watching this site?

"Suddenly I woke up, strapped to a chair."

Why is Charlie West here being tortured?  What is going on--he just had the best day of his life.  He is great at Karate and he has a new girlfriend.  Her number is written on his arm....wait where did it go?  This is one of those fast paced, action packed adventures that leaves your heart pumping and your mind thinking..."How is he going to get away this time?"
