The Lost Ones - Paperback

by Walter Cummins (Author)

Whether on a resort island, on a bus burrowing through the darkness, disoriented in European cities and villages, fearful at a lakeside table or on a mountain climb, bewildered in the crypt of the Vatican or in rooms and landscapes suddenly strange, the people in these sixteen stories don't know where they are or who they are. They struggle to locate themselves in their lives.
