When he meets Tatiana and hears her story, he finds the one thing he must do to give his impending death some meaning. He will collect a debt owed to her."In Paris, Wyoming, Jim James has written a story wrapped in a dual tragedy and presented it with adventure and intrigue. Jack, from Wyoming, a man in the truest sense of the word, believes he should suffer his life-threatening problem without burdening others and Tatiana, a woman whose charm and intelligence could make world domination an easily attainable goal, believes herself ruined and of no interest to any man. Marcel, the jovial, wise owner of the Parisian bookshop that is the center of much of the story is just the right catalyst. This book was a pleasure to read, an excellent rendering of the hero and the heroine's quests for finality and redemption.
