Enduring Love

The novel opens on a beautiful day with a picnic planned by science journalist Joe Rose and his long-term partner, Clarissa Mellon, which is abruptly shattered by a bizarre and fatal hot air ballooning accident in the English countryside. In the chaos of the rescue attempt, Joe has a brief, chance encounter with another would-be rescuer, Jed Parry. This fleeting moment ignites a dangerous and powerful obsession in Parry, who suffers from de Clerambault's syndrome (erotomania) and becomes convinced that Joe is passionately in love with him. As Jed Parry's delusional stalking increasingly intrudes on Joe's life, it tests the limits of Joe's scientific rationalism, threatens the stability of his relationship with Clarissa, and drives him to the brink.
