New York: Warner, (1993) dj. SIGNED hardcover first edition - The author's second novel, one which combines satire, mystery, and romance. "Matthew Chandler, the thirty-something Manhattan lawyer who narrates the tale, tells us right at the start what the problem is: 'See, there's this woman. Good God, there's always a woman.' In this case, the woman is Rachel, a blind artist whom Matthew has known since his schooldays and whom he shares (unhappily) with his best friend, Daniel Hawthorn. Daniel is half-WASP and half-Gypsy, he ranks in most of the world's tennis tournaments and hunts down Nazis in his spare time. He also manages to seduce Rachel as an afterthought, and nearly kills her in a traffic accident that leaves her sightless" (Kirkus) INSCRIBED on the title page and signed as both Bill and with his full name, and dated in the year of publication. 370 pp. ISBN: 0-446516139.
