An enthralling and unorthodox dark fable, rich in intrigue and mordant comedy, and animated by a frank current of romance and sex. Written in 1998 but never before published, the novel unfolds as a sweeping saga of familial greed, extortion, and betrayal, charting one dynasty's attempt to consolidate control over the world’s wealth.
At its center is Billy Baxter, heir to this vast fortune, whoassisted by a married pair of Chinese-Swiss Jungian psychologists, one of whom he has fallen in love withembarks on a fraught search for atonement for his family's crimes. In a turn that only a writer of Newlove's narrative confidence could sustain, Baxter is also revealed to be a descendant of an ancient clan of humanoid wolves on the verge of extinction.
