Description
The author of Rich Man, Poor Man and Beggarman, Thief uses his world-famous talents as a master story-teller to give us one of his most powerful novels to date: the colourful and exciting story of a man who turns away from modern life towards his own dangerous amusements.
Michael Storrs's joy comes not from his conventional life in New York, but from risking physical danger: as a parachutist, a surfer, a hang glider, a free-faller and a skier. And so he leaves New York City and moves to a New England ski resort - even though he loses his wife in the process-to live a purer, more primitive existence. He finds the physical excitement he craves, but along with it come developments he had not anticipated. For some of the personal relationships in which he becomes involved prove as threatening as the most dangerous of his sports.
