In "1:00 A.M.," a doctor sneaks out of his wife's bed to ride his bicycle in search of his mistress at an early hour. In "How I Lost My Baby Girl," a man loses his baby daughter forever to his ex-wife and her lawyerly lover. In "Trick Wedding," a man marries a woman he knows for a fact cheated on him. In "Desmond Rex," sin and suicide turn a man into a monster. These and other stories are sure to entertain, enlighten and delight any reader and will keep you reading to the end.
