A Long and Permanent Fall

The wife of an affluent man leaves him for another after twenty-years and tells him by way of a note that she is leaving with her new man and transferring to her company’s office in Berlin.

Devastated by this totally unexpected bombshell the abandoned husband finds himself alone in his Dulwich home with the live-in East African housekeeper his wife had employed a year or so before leaving.

A large and powerful woman who has plans for him.

Plans that do not include his freedom!

If you enjoy stories that, without being unnecessarily explicit, trigger those more stygian and erotic areas of the imagination while invoking the spirit of assertive women, and are as believable as they are dark, it’s more than probable you’ll delight in Mr Menton’s stories from a female-led perspective on the subject of crime, horror, the occult and the erotic domestic and sexual bondage of man to woman.

Rafael Menton is a UK-based Professor of English Literature with a retro passion for the early to mid-twentieth-century fiction of mystery, crime, suspense, and horror & romance with erotic female-led undertones. Mr Menton’s literary tastes ranging from Doyle and Blackwood and on to Rohmer – as well as sometimes indulging in a more contemporary take of his own on the work of those masters.
