Book description
Henry Cage seemed to have it all. A successful business career,
considerable wealth, and a reputation for being a just and principled
man. But public virtues can conceal private failings, and as Henry faces
retirement, his well-ordered life begins to unravel. On the eve of the
new millennium he is the victim of a random act of violence which soon
escalates into a prolonged persecution, with tragic consequences. Family
secrets are revealed, and when his ex-wife Nessa summons Henry to Palm
Beach, he realises that there is little time to redress the mistakes of
the past. The Upright Piano Player explores with a tender, yet
unflinching eye the small but devastating flaws in human nature that can
shape our destinies. Henry Cage seemed to have it all. A successful
