AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'MICHAEL DAWSON, a psychopath, failed to comprehend life. Marrying a beautiful woman, he discovered to his horror that she was steeped in an infamy even worse than his own. Circumstance piled upon circumstance until Nemesis threatened him with a fate he had to accept; a fate which led him out of the life he did not fit.'
