Romance/Spy Thriller

At first encounter "fly" and "spider" may seem odd and inappropriate labels for the two protagonists of this romantic and ultimately terror-inducing thriller. Member of Parliament Richard Neville Brooke is perhaps somewhat cavalier in his treatment of devoted wife and children back in the constituency while pursuing his various London affairs, but that doesn't hamper his swift upward career in Westminster. Ms. Alex Jackson is a liberated American divorcee on a writing assignment in London, and their coming together is as casual as it is inevitable. But then Richard and Alex sideslip into real love, and the turns in Richard's life and career become increasingly subject of mysterious manipulation. High level missions to Dublin and Mozambique, interludes in New York and the South of France punctuate his previously ordered existence. He finds the intricately spun web of events exerting an ever more remorseless hold until he must ask himself if Alex is loving...or lying in wait.
