"A hard-drinking man. A dented Harley. A detour to an unexpected future."

Professor Lawrence Tyrone didn't have a drinking problem-or an obsession with his ex-wife-until he discovered she was marrying his brother. When crashing the wedding with disastrous results leaves him unemployed and close to rock bottom, Tyrone moves to the country, buys a Harley and starts taking riding lessons from a secretive Polish expat who has been trying to maintain a low profile.

Isolated out in the country, far from his usual haunts and routines, Tyrone gets involved in an unexpected death and a complicated love triangle.

Meddling in other people's lives forces Tyrone to confront his own failings. For the first time in his life he wants to be a different man, but there's that lifetime of bad habits and bad behavior to overcome...

"A quixotic, inspiring misadventure with a reluctant hero."
