This is a crime story, though is not. This is a love story, though is not. One night, after an Easter concert at Bath Abbey in Somerset, an arthritic middle-aged man leads a beautiful stranger into a dimly-lit underground car park. There they meet a psychic Border Collie called Flo. The beautiful woman kisses the dog then turns to walk away, and with that chance encounter the worlds of all three take an entirely different course. What follows is about love and trust, about how a struggle between reality and perception threatens the trio's bond, about how a famous painting becomes woven into nocturnal visions that disorient and derange their star-crossed victim. Secrets and lies unfold over time under the obscurantic spell of the woman, the attraction she elicits within the spellbound man intensifying proportionately to his repelling doubts. Finally, a point is reached when a confrontation between sanity and its illusional opposite must be faced. But what is real and what is not are so often indistinguishable. This is a story, though is not pure imagination, rather it is based on verifiable events.
