In from the Middle-West, Harold Crist Gardner, known as Harry, is a good and talented man who has it all in New York City. Glamorous, fast-track Manhattan; financial independence; success in creative and challenging work; a beautiful, funny, sensuous working wife; two , soon-to-be three children (in private school); a trophy apartment on Central Park West; a house in Easthampton and bright, brittle, witty and ambitious friends.

But Harry has come to a dark wood in himself. He loses his way. He is falling apart. In psychological panic, he seeks himself in alcohol and other women, lots of other women. In scenes so vivid and visceral, a reader is sure to feel intoxicated too and ready to not just break, but to shatter the Seventh Commandment.

In this modern day Odyssey, a Dublin night in the city that never sleeps, Harry struggles against his furies in a riveting, sharply-funny, murderous (literally) combat. His self-inflicted, nearly-fatal actions endanger his now-disintegrating beautiful world.

His soul, in spiritual pain, weighs in the balance and it writhes to find a way home.

Pages turn swiftly, the tension increases, as Harrys ambivalent journey is propelled toward its destination Richard Houdek, Critic and Arts Editor, Berkshire HomeStyle Magazine
