Alec Davidson was determined in business, and good at his chosen profession: photography. He controlled his world, and those who were allowed within it passionately, until 16 days ago. Then Freya had stumbled into it. She had entered almost as an afterthought. She had gone from casual acquaintance to the epicentre of everything that had happened, and everyone that had been invited since that first evening. She had reawakened his interest in all the things that he had hidden from the world so determinedly, and led him to question himself and those with whom he associated. He had been forced to recalibrate his views on life and his profession, because of the proximity of her feminine charms and her sexual and carnal desires. How had this begun? Where would it all end? He was usually in control of all aspects of his life, but at present he was being undermined by her inquisitive nature and wish to experiment in all the things she had not yet experienced.

It is a story about time and memory. The protagonist pieces together meaning from the evidence he encounters over a thirty-year time span: the first-person narrative that moves back and forth between the last years of the Cold War and the present. The novel explores overlapping milieus in Frankfurt whose uneasy coexistence sometimes erupts into violence: competing elements in the German underworld, the personalities and bureaucracies of German policing, American military personnel and military police, German and American academics. The reader shares the immediate experience of the American investigator, a former officer of the American Military Police who was once stationed in Frankfurt. The reader shares his reflections, as well, as the older man's accumulated experience becomes a lens through which he views his younger self. The dramatic and violent events of the first investigation, interspersed with the calm and reflective atmosphere of the second search, create the novel's particular rhythm.

This series of essays or stories is a collection of autobiographical fragments of the peripatetic life of the author. Some of the narratives have a quirky, perhaps provocative, aspect-the thought process of an original thinker meant to make the reader question life.A common theme throughout the author's other writings is to question the fragility or precariousness of any individual's life and love or lack of-in other words-the whole damn mess and how life can apparently be running normally until suddenly, with no warning, it disappears, is lost or destroyed, and it becomes necessary to find ways to compensate spiritually and emotionally as well as keep one's head above water with the physical realities. Is upheaval a negative or a positive-have we gained a new insight from that emotional journey?Some of the pieces are based on authentic experiences and recollections of the author, gained over a lifetime, a composite condensing of time, people, and events. They are an honest, descriptive, and in-depth exploration of our most fundamental human emotions.The author is passionately positive about her particular journey, despite many losses or traumas but coupled abundantly with good friends and happenings. Above all, her zest for living it all and embracing change and challenge is the overriding message. The stories are passionate histories and, she hopes, sufficiently thought-provoking that you want more.
