I read it a long time ago and would like to reread it, but for the life of me cannot remember the title. I believe it takes place in the 80's. The main character is a woman who has (apparently) gotten into a car accident in a strange town. She wakes up in the hospital with amnesia and is cared for by the doctors and nurses. She begins to suspect something is wrong and as it turns out, she's not in the U.S. anymore, but in Russia (I think?). She works for this top secret company who has (for lack of a better word) programmed her to get amnesia if anyone tried to torture information about the company out of her. The book is very Nelson Demille-ish, but it's not by him. Can anyone help me?

I thought Long Kiss Goodnight, too....
Samantha Caine, suburban homemaker, is the ideal mom to her 8 year old daughter Caitlin. She lives in an ideal New England small town, has a job teaching school and makes the best Rice Krispie treats in town. But when she receives a bump on her head, she begins to remember small parts of her previous life as a lethal, top-secret agent. Her old chums in the Chapter are now out to kill her so she enlists the help of a cheap detective named Mitch. As Samantha remembers more and more of her previous life, she becomes deadlier and more resourceful. Both Mitch and Charly proceed to do the killing thing, the bleeding thing and the shooting thing.
The Long Kiss Goodnight, 1996

Sounds like its "The long kiss goodnight", which was also made into a movie with Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson.

"The House of Thunder" by Dean Koontz.
If you liked this, read his books "Lightning" "Watchers" and his masterpiece, my all-time favorite book of his "Tick Tock".
