Description
This is the story of a man who would rather remain anonymous. He has his reasons. The boutique where used to work has been condemned, and so has the house where he rented a room, torn down to make way for a luxury hotel. His demanding boss vows her love for him; he feels compelled to perform. Then she fires him.The woman he loves, the much younger wife of a professor who dies in mysterious circumstances, has disappeared. Is he merely a pawn? Life holds many secrets, especially when, like in a game of chess, the pawn reaches the last row. We understand that a person can only be exploited so far . . .
