A lackluster and half-hearted adventure with an evil real estate developer is tossed in to spice up what really wants to be a character study about the friendship between Ethan Reckless and his assistant Anna. For a guy who claims to be distanced from emotions by an old brain injury, he certainly manages to be petulant and mawkish when Anna begins to drift away from him.

I was so happy when I saw this available on Hoopla this afternoon, but now I'm just disappointed and hoping the next one gets things back on track. (Though the hideous cover previewed here does not bode well.) (

Epigraph

Dedication

First words

1988 was the year I started to feel old. I was thirty-seven, and every morning I woke up with this kind of dull stiffness, and aching in too many places.
