About this book

Money is running out for James L. Durkin as he looks from a Riviera hotel window across the Mediterranean. A newspaper notice calls the electrical expert back to New York, where contracts await his presence, leaving him desperate to find a way home. His invention, a camera that can transmit pictures over a wire, promises a route toward honest work. In Monte Carlo, that prospect clashes with the weight of his past and his longing for Frank, his wife.

Arthur Stringer's novel links electrical technology with crime and the fragile trust between married people. Later, Jim and Frank travel through Bari toward Trieste, hoping to catch a liner home. Their conversations turn on work, honesty and the fear of hurting each other, while Frank struggles to disclose the loss of important papers.
