As Close As You Are to Me

Alex Taylor is an unhappy and troubled man as he sits in the city park, but when he sees his teenage daughter Ruth walk by he is in turmoil. Ruth has been dead for more than a year. Paralysed by shock he loses the opportunity to pursue her, and she disappears through the gates. Doppelganger, ghost... or something else? Alex is determined to find the girl; he is convinced that doing so will solve for him the mystery of her death, and bring reconciliation with his estranged wife Karin. But is Alex's quest quite what it seems? We have his account, his point of view, but there is another voice to tell the tale, to offer a different perspective. A crime has been committed. Is Alex, as he claims, the innocent victim of a malicious plot to separate him from Karin forever? Is there another twist in a tale that winds and rewinds? And will there be a twist in Alex's destiny as another woman enters his life? More than a single linear narrative, more than a mystery, much more than a whodunit, As Close As You Are To Me presents a fascinating exploration of the human psyche and a different kind of love story.
