About This Book

A respectable lawyer descended from generations of the same household abruptly abandons his habitual life, prompting colleagues, clients, and his valet to puzzle over a strange disappearance and an eccentric reappearance in a hotel with unfamiliar wardrobe. The narrative follows their investigations, the valet's bewildered sleuthing, and a gradual personal awakening that alters relationships among friends and family. Episodes shift between gentle comedy and introspective observation, examining identity, habit, and social roles as a circle of acquaintances—including professional peers and local characters—contends with the practical and emotional consequences of one man's reinvention across four distinct parts.
