Woodbine Unraveling Michael Duvall

Despite a painful childhood struck by both tragedy and loss, Thayer Woodbine has endured. His life is nearly perfect now; neatly bound -a successful author and bookstore owner living in quiet, beautiful Missoula, Montana. But losing his longtime girlfriend Mcrea to a job offer in Seattle will change everything. Without her, he is lost. Somewhere in a downward spiral of depression and indifference, Thayer's perfect life slowly begins to fray...to unravel. It is in those passing moments that he meets Sirah -a darkly enigmatic young woman. Sophisticated, confident and stunningly gorgeous, Thayer finds it impossible to resist her advances...her invitations. But Sirah is hiding something. Why does she come and go at the oddest hours? Why can Thayer hear her weeping quietly from the apartment above? What is her connection to all these random people she meets on her long morning walks? What is she hiding in the shadow beneath her black umbrella? Sirah has a secret. And Thayer is dying to find out what it is...
