Bowl of Night

Product Description

Bowl of Night is a suspenseful noir of a novel, a story of obsessive love and intrigue that takes us to London, Paris, and Iran in the early 1970’s. Rebecca Bell has a marginal singing career in New York when she falls in love with Harry, an international art dealer with a bucket of secrets. When Harry suddenly vanishes, she’s heartbroken and adrift, and sets out on a quest to find him. This proves to be a journey that is both geographical and emotional, as she tries to come to terms with her fundamentalist background, family tragedy, and the nature of love, while also finding herself in over her head in a perilous world of duplicity, rising terrorism, and personal culpability.
