A Passionate Affair, Lost Love, Family
Intrigue, a Suspicious Death
Michael Parker is dying. He has had a good
life and done well for himself. Now, alone, save for his loyal housekeeper,
Smithy, he reminisces on a wonderful love affair he had in the summer of 1965.
Dianne was an archaeology student on study leave at the British Museum when
they met. Then, one day after a passionate affair, she left, never to be heard
of again. Her flat mates said she was pregnant, but Michael did not believe
that at the time. Now at 75, with only six months to live, he asks his
solicitors to send him someone who can find Dianne, and find the truth, before
he dies.
James Lacey works as a solicitor's clerk at Morris, Stern and Wicks, and is
sent to see Michael Parker. James thinks the visit will be a waste of time, but
after hearing Michael's story, is slowly and surely drawn into the mystery, as
to where, and if, Dianne is alive. Michael gives James money for travelling,
and a Letter to give to Dianne, for if and when he finds her.
With the help of James's girl friend, Jane, and his friend Jonathan, the Letter
travels with James to Ireland, Paris, Pakistan, India and Spain.
They meet old friends and colleges of Dianne, but why is the trail hard to
follow. Why is this lady, if she is alive, wanting to keep her whereabouts
secret. No one who she worked with seems to be willing to talk to James, or
confirm her existence.
James travels far and wide to unravel the
mystery that is Dianne Holland, but also discovers secrets about his own
relatives on a visit to India.
Can James Lacey juggle all of these events
as well as coming to terms with his own personal anxieties?
