The Long Journey Back

Peter Gordon, a successful London businessman, finds himself apparently under house arrest in a luxurious, cliff-top villa in Jamaica. The identity of his captors is a mystery. Are they professional or political enemies? An ex-lover or a jealous husband? In seeking the reason for his imprisonment, Gordon obsessively sifts through his past: his ruthless business dealings, his youth in Romania, his tempestuous marriage, and his affairs. When a package arrives at the villa, Gordon is forced to confront his past more honestly than before. Suddenly, all is revealed—and in a stunning climax, Gordon's life is thrown into a new and shattering perspective.
