Description: Novelist Graham Broadbent coasts through life like many of the characters in his books, quietly accepting the easy pace his success has allowed him. But one evening, attractive 20-year-old Christa appears at his hotel door and tells Graham he is her father. But Graham has not seen the girl's mother in 25 years. Curiosity gets the better of him and he decides to find out who this girl really is - and why she came to him with such an obvious lie. As he digs deeper into his past, Graham finds himself in a confusion of deception and lies far beyond his mastery of plot and character.
