SYNOPSIS OF
DEATH AND REDEMPTION IN LONDON & L.A.

Devastated that his wife and writing partner of 25 years left him on the eve of the new millennium, Lionel Rolfe set pen to paper in an attempt to make sense of the dance between men and women. But, as he began writing, a deeper understanding took hold – the Grim Reaper stopped by. And not just once, but again and again. The deaths of Carl Kessler, the unrepentant Stalinist and trade union organizer, and Nieson Himmel, a close friend and veteran nighttime police reporter for the Los Angeles Times, hit him hard. But it was the death of Rolfe's uncle, the great violinist Yehudi Menuhin, that turned his life upside down. In the end, the emotional ordeal was a blessing in disguise. After all, without it, the world would not have DEATH AND REDEMPTION IN LONDON & L.A. – an engrossing tale of one man’s search for redemption in the only place it has ever been found… within the soul. Come along with the author as he strives to deal with a life half-lived and dreams perpetually deferred. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry. But most of all, you’ll see the world through the eyes of a man truly in touch with his sensibilities; a man who’ll change your worldview forever.
