Those Who Walk Away

Jacket Notes:  The honeymoon is over, as they say, the bride dead by her own hand. Ray Garrett, the grieving husband, convinces the police in Rome of his innocence, but not his
thuggish father-in-law, an American punter named Ed Coleman, who shoots him at
point-blank range and leaves him for dead. Ray survives, however, and follows Coleman to Venice, where the two fall into an eerie game of cat-and-mouse--Coleman obsessed with vengeance and Ray equally insistent on clearing his conscience, though each is at once the hunter and the hunted in a duel composed of tension, hiding and guessing, and at times punctuated fly violence that, even as each manages to walk away, draws them nearer to death.
