About The Book

This volume is the dramatic final part of what is sometimes known as the 'Hamlet Trilogy'.

At the end of the second Volume (The Mission), Tessa Bellman left Canada and went to live alone in England to bring up her young, fatherless son, William. Twenty-five years have now elapsed since Tessa received that dire letter from Adam, informing her he wasn't dead but that his relationship with her was dead, and that he had chosen another life. We follow now the fortunes of young 'William', whose journeys lead him from the family home in the outskirts of London, to University and subsequently Hamburg in Germany.

William of course knows little about his mother's former adventures (she doesn't talk about them) nor about the dreadful fate of his so-called father, if he ever had one at all. However, as he eventually returns home from his many life-enriching experiences in Hamburg, mysterious and perplexing signs begin to reveal that his father had never died at all but is still very much alive, and in Texas. What's more, whether by chance or by Providence, events now lead William himself back to the plains of North Texas, where this story began.

The stage is set, and we, the reader, watch, as the lives of father and son remorselessly converge and collide in a spell-binding conclusion. It's a 'coming-together' not to be missed and a tale indeed for our times...
