movie:
"When a Chinese vice-premier is offed in a most
suspicious manner, investigators consider the possibility that
legendary assassin Jason Bourne may still be alive. However, the
U.S. government knows the truth: there is no Jason Bourne. The name
was used as a cover for American secret agent David Webb, who has
since retired. Someone has used the Bourne identity to commit the
assassination. Satisfied with not being involved in the case, Webb
is pulled back into the game of spy versus spy when the woman he
loves is suddenly torn from his life. Now, Webb reassumes the name
Jason Bourne and uses his deadly talents to save the girl, take down
a mysterious assassin and avoid detection in the high-stakes world
of international espionage."

Premise
book:
"In a Kowloon Cabaret, scrawled in a pool of blood, is
a name the world wanted to forget: Jason Bourne. The Chinese vice-premier has been brutally slain by a legendary assassin. World
leaders ask the same fearful questions: Why has Jason Bourne come
back? Who is paying him? Who is the next to die? But U.S. officials
know the shocking truth: There is no Jason Bourne. The name was
created as cover for David Webb on his search for the notorious
killer Carlos. Someone else has taken the Bourne identity--and
unless he is stopped, the world will pay a devastating price. So
Jason Bourne must live again. Once again, Webb must utilize his
lethal skills--because once again, like a nightmare relived, the
woman he loves is suddenly torn from his life. To find her, trap his
own impostor, and uncover an explosive secret plan, Webb must
launch a desperate odyssey into the espionage killing fields. But this
time, survival will not be enough. This
time Bourne must reign supreme. "
