About the book: This edgy tale explores life, love and the pursuit of something more – could it be happiness? - set against the turbulent backdrop of the early 1960’s. Jake Garrison agrees to investigate a struggling typewriter company for Charles Carnusty - a man Jake suspects is sleeping with his wife, Diana, who is a successful businesswoman at Colepool Publishers. Although Jake and Diana both want children, their lives are increasingly headed in opposite directions, and when Diana announces she is pregnant at last, Jake is certain that he is not the father of her child. Not that he'll ever tell her…
