Description
Volume 3 includes Too Close to the Edge, the tale of a quiet retirement in the foothills of the Alps turned upside down; The Eskimo Solution, which combines the story of a struggling writer with excerpts of the crime novel he's writing, which will spill over into his own life; and Low Heights, in which a cantankerous retiree falls for his nurse and finds himself confronted with a man claiming to be his long-lost son ... but the family reunion is threatened by the vultures circling above.
