Of Circumstances and Intrigues (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780998852805)

In these pages you will meet such people as Anatole Wutherington, a kidnapped girl of age 15 and Osgood Nesbitt, the weird one; Emanuelle Zakarov, the budding skater who leaves her husband for her much younger skating partner; the beautiful young reporter and the admiring mayor; Tommy Devine, whose father at last comes back to retrieve him from the orphanage; and the scholarly Ramsey and his uneducated backcountry relatives John Eric and Uncle Sanford--and J. T. Conrad, a wanna be music star; and Jacob and his legal mentor, the wise old Jewish Mister Puryear. Come inside if you will and share the intimacy of their entanglements, part fancy, part real, so astutely contrived in every aspect that one's thoughts cannot help but be greatly stirred.
