Across the Lake

‘Across the Lake’ is a pacey, romantic, adventure story. It begins with an innocent fishing trip for two close friends up in the Laurentian Mountains of Canada. Soon after the fishing trip, one of them has a life-changing experience during the closing phases of the Gulf War. Years later, these events and the mysteries surrounding them impact on the lives of his entire family. The drama moves from the Laurentian Mountains to Israel’s Negev Desert, from the seedy backstreets of Brussels to a gun-running operation in London, from espionage in New York and back to the Laurentians. The trail of jealousy and secret romance and lies that knots this story together suggests that treachery within any family’s relationship can lead to disaster, particularly if terrorists wish to capitalize on their predicament.
