Mr. Wakefield's crusade

Edición de la obra Mr. Wakefield's crusade

From Library Journal Luke Wakefield's business has gone bankrupt, his wife has left him (for another woman)his life, he thinks, has been one big failure. Then one day, as he is waiting in line at the post office, the well-dressed man ahead of him drops dead. In the commotion that follows, Wakefield leaves with a sealed letter the dead man left unmailed. He steams it open and reads it. At once his life is filled with new meaning and energy, becoming a crusade to find the body of the man's murdered wife, to fill his life with the mysterious details of theirs. Like I Sent a Letter to My Love (St. Martin's, 1978), Rubens's latest work is based on an imaginary correspondence. But unlike the earlier novel, a romance of sorts, Mr. Wakefields's Crusade is a novel of both real and psychological suspense, telling of a lonely man's obsession, deception, possibly even madness. Highly recommended. Marcia G. Fuchs, Guilford Free Lib., Ct. Copyright 1985 Reed Business Information, Inc. --
