See Jane Run, by Joy Fielding
On her way to buy milk and eggs,
a woman suddenly forgets who she is. The only clues to her
identity are a blood-soaked blue dress and the ten thousand dollars
in her coat pockets. She hides the evidence before going
to the police, and subsequently a hospital where she learns
 she is suffering from hysterical amnesia.   Enter the perfect,
loving, gentle husband to take her home and take care of her.
 Something isn't right? Can she figure it all out before she ends
 up in a mental hospital?
