Committed to Memory

Two men: one with memories he can't escape, the other with memories he can't recapture -- both trusting strangers who lie. Amnesiac Peter Killian, suspected art thief, can't understand why LAPD detective Michael Griffin takes his memory loss so personally. American expatriate Jack Stoyles, exiled in a distant Atlantic outpost, is suddenly in love with a stranger who kisses him -- and then dies.

With good reason Jack calls his place "Heartache Cafe."
