Title: Wages of sin
First published: 1992
Description: Tycoon, sculptor, war hero, poet-- Chicago entrepreneur Lorcan James Flynn has truly earned the title "Renaissance man."  Yet all Flynn's wealth and talent cannot ease his troubled soul.  Driven by private demons to the psychiatrist's couch, he finds little solace in a business coup or a romantic fling. 
   When, after decades, fate throws Flynn together with his first, lost love, the forces at war within him come rolling to the surface.  To free himself and seize his one last chance for happiness, he must venture back in time some forty years and reconstruct a summer when joy turned to horror overnight.  Along a rugged, twisting road marked by scandal and buried secrets, Flynn struggles toward the stunning truth about his heritage, his lover -- and himself.
