100 Swings by Robert Swayze

When forensic accountant Gene Spaulding hands artist Lizzie Vaughn his business card at a gallery opening, it triggers events that link a mother, her daughter, their lovers, an art camp in the Sierras, an empty house in the high desert and Los Angeles in the 1980s. The addiction to notoriety, the imperative of memories and the desires of a would-be player test the loyalties of friends and families. It is nearly twenty years after the Summer of Love and twenty years before the Digital Age. 100 Swings is a story of unexpected violence, the attraction of puzzles and lives imprisoned by the past.
