Their son Mark is born just before the October crash of 1987 when Dennis loses his speculative paper assets and his job.

When Carol s art dealer friend is murdered, distraught and afraid for her life, she escapes to Sydney with their son. Alone in Paris and struggling to save his failing company, a torrid love affair blooms between Dennis and his secretary Camille, while Carol falls under the spell of an evil man in Sydney, who is cruel to Mark. Dennis breaks with Camille and returns to Sydney in an attempt to rescue Mark and save his marriage, but conflicts with Carol spiral, ending in divorce. Broke and depressed, the fundamental compulsion to protect and provide for his son inspires him onwards to pass the baton.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David O'Connor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1496993535\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496993533\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Authorhouse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"David O'Connor","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48485439635711,"sku":"9781496993533","price":41.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bcb8a23c-56c7-4446-bfa6-59fb21b7d414.jpg?v=1778049589","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pass-the-baton-david-oconnor-9781496993533","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
