Nothing - not cold drinks, not showers not a stroll through the chilly aisles of an all-night drugstore - can undo the heat's hold on the city. Julian is half watching the evening news, his husband filling the dishwasher. That's when it arrives. An email with the subject line: 'From Paul Axel'. An email about a dead man from Carol - a woman Julian has never met. Paul has left a message he'd like her to relay. Emails are exchanged. Morning coffee at the Bryant Park Grill is agreed. Carol, fulfilling Paul's final request, wonders how she will tell Julian of a life - and a love - he has no idea existed. A life, encased in a flash drive, containing multitudes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56411990950261,"sku":"9780571399925","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9780571399925.jpg?v=1764409759","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9780571399925","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
