“A terrific fast-moving book. . . a truly clever, rather wonderful book that both plays with and defies genre” – Irish Times

A taxi-driver in 1930s Vienna impersonates a murder victim, and is caught into a dangerous spiral

Twice adapted for film, I Was Jack Mortimer is a tale of misappropriated identity as darkly captivating and twisting as the books of Patricia Highsmith.

“One doesn’t step into anyone’s life, not even a dead man’s, without having to live it to the end.”

A man climbs into Ferdinand Sponer's cab, gives the name of a hotel, and before he reaches it has been murdered: shot through the throat. And though Sponer has so far committed no crime, he is drawn into the late Jack Mortimer's life, and might not be able to escape its tangles and intrigues before it is too late...
