Charlie Ravich is an international corporate tycoon, a husband and father on the hard side of fifty, and a restless soul in search of immortality. When Christina Welles, a prison parolee, well-schooled in the art of manipulation, walks into his life, Charlie thinks he just might have found what he’s looking for. As she tries to outrun her past, and he to understand his future, two obsessions are about to be indulged.
Charlie Ravich’s brutal experience as a POW in Vietnam has more than prepared him for the cutthroat world of global commerce. Now a wealthy executive, Charlie has only one problem: his family is dying out. His wife teeters on the edge of Alzheimers’s; their son has succumbed to leukemia; and their daughter, Julia, is unable to bear a child. Enter Christina, a voluptuous and beguiling Columbia University dropout – intelligent, selectively dishonest, filled with desire. Her affair with Rick Bocca, a member of big-time truck-theft ring run by mobster Tony V, has landed her in prison. After four years at Bedford Hills, she is suddenly released by the Manhattan DA’s office – perhaps because she is innocent, perhaps not….
We’ve all had that feeling: the memory of a beloved childhood book, a title mentioned in passing that you can’t get out of your head, or an out-of-print gem that seems to have vanished completely.
