"One day a renowned author discovers that his wife, a war correspondent, has disappeared leaving no trace. Though time brings more success and new love, he remains mystified - and increasingly fascinated - by her absence. Was she kidnapped, blackmailed, or simply bored with their marriage? His search for her - and for the truth of his own life - takes him from the safety of his world to a totally unknown path, searching for a new understanding of the nature of love and the power of destiny. Also available in Spanish at $13.95 (H) from Rayo (ISBN 0060831316)."
