The Tame Man

Love, Death, and Expats in the Heart of London

When Rubicon Baines moved from Illinois to London, she changed her name, her body, and her accent to become an ITV star in the 90s. Years later, now unknown and unemployed, Rubicon meets up with Jenn Bellwether, a God-fearing childhood friend, and introduces her to her inner circle.
One of Rubicon's friends, London doctor Mark Everleigh—a widower through an act of violence—is stuck in a holding pattern of mutual suspicion with his vulnerable teenage son Simon. Jenn inserts herself and her concept of American family values into Mark's life and the pressure on Mark's family leaves everyone searching for a way out.
Finally, Mark finds one... Rubicon herself.
THE TAME MAN is a darkly comic crime novel about the lure of second chances and the impossibility of escaping the past.
