Prisonser in a Red-Rose Chain

Winner of the 2000 Commonwealth Writer's Prize and the 1999 QSpell Award for Best First Book It is by no means clear just how much control Jeremy Davenant has over his own destiny. He's attractive, clever, hedonistic and generous, and he teaches (albeit with forged credentials) at a Montreal university. He even has a sabbatical coming up. Yet one glance from a dark lady in the street below, and his life veers into chaotic mischance and obsession.
