. . . writes beautifully yet sparingly, never letting his deep knowledge of the detail get in the way of the story. It's a compelling read. -Ivan Fallon, bestselling author of Billionaire

A brass rubbing hobbyist finds a gravestone with his name on it. A gentleman exchanges a life of superficial pleasure for a worthwhile, charitable cause. An introvert gets embroiled in an insider dealing scandal with his controlling girlfriend. A painter sees his canvas go blank in mid-execution. A playboy polo player is prompted to return home by the death of a friend. An old man with digital incapacities experiences a nightmare. A father reflects on his relationship with his son. A spoiled rich girl sets out to find a husband. Two sisters fall out over a romance with a tenant. This collection of short stories is a fascinating literary journey through international and elegant venues, populated by a variety of personalities whose adventures reflect the twists and turns of human existence.
