The Faust Lane

Jon Lucke is a thirty-something adman with an unhappy marriage, a failing business and a lifetime of anxiety and disappointments - until he has a chance meeting with the urbane, ultra-rich Marco Brancusi...Jon is lured into Marco's orbit and catapulted with bewildering speed into a world of glittering success, where it seems all he has ever dreamed of is at last within his reach...And that's just the book-within-the-book, created by the reclusive David O'Connor...Gradually, David's alter ego, begins to see what he has lost in gaining a life of power and luxury; and when the true nature of what he's involved in begins to unfold, he has to make some difficult and dangerous choices. And from then on, you're never quite sure what's real and what's not...Part Faust-with-a-twist, part Hollywood-style blockbuster, The Faust Lane roars page-turningly along, mingling psycho-spiritual insight with out-and-out adventure in an entertaining and thought-provoking mix.
