Combining destiny with a remarkable detective story and an extraordinary love affair, this narrative takes the reader into the mind and heart of Marvin Styles, who at age fifty has long been seeking his destiny. When the adage "a long lost love could change your life forever" appears in his fortune cookie, Marvin considers whether to pursue his dream of finding Karen, his long lost love from many years ago. Marvin's resolute quest takes him crisscrossing the country, pursuing a few remote leads, each culminating in a dead end until, just when he is about to concede defeat, a semmingly miraculous occurrence leads him toward the city where Karen possibly now resides.As expected, Marvin eventually finds his Karen, but the story has only just begun. Marvin wonders if their love will have survived their many years of separation, as he finds Karen caught up in a complicated quandary involving her philandering and abusive estranged husband, who has somehow managed to tie up her fortune and her life by seizing control of her company, now worth millions. Marvin and Karen soon decide to undertake the mission of recovering Karen's money, and if they can financially destroy her ex-husband in the process, then so much the better.
