ABOUT
THE BOOK
|
|
Daniel Fielding, a quiet, middle-aged editor at a Toronto book-publishing house, has it all. An attractive wife, a charming daughter who excels at her private school, and a desirable house in a nice neighbourhood all add up to a successful life. If his job is becoming a little tedious and his boss a little too supercilious, then so be it. But
when Fielding and a pretty, very assertive young colleague travel together
to the Frankfurt Book Fair, what begins as an indiscretion unexpectedly
explodes into abduction and murder. Now Fielding must navigate the devastation
of the lives left behind. |
