George Crawley has finally got his life running along satisfyingly straight lines. Having made a success of his career and saved his faltering marriage, he is secure in the belief that he is master of his own destiny. Then comes the tragic blow – fate presents him with an apparently insoluble problem. Except that the word  »insoluble » just isn »t part of the man »s vocabulary. George will stop at nothing,
nothing, to get his life back on the rails again.
