Homage That Follows

THE STORY: A brilliant young mathematician, Archie Landrum, goes to work for and befriends a retired high-school English teacher, Katherine Samuel, who has recently lost her beloved husband. When Katherine's substance-abusing TV-star daughter, Lucy, returns home to the family farm to dry out, Archie becomes obsessed with her and, ultimately, murders her when she makes it clear she is unavailable. Deputy Sheriff Gilbert Tellez, a former suitor of Lucy's, is charged with babysitting Archie in the county jail. Public Defender, Joseph Smith, a former suitor of Katherine's, is to defend Archie. These five circle each other with their individual needs and furies; as the circle becomes tighter, implosion is inevitable.Medoff, Mark is the author of 'Homage That Follows ', published 1995 under ISBN 9780822214694 and ISBN 0822214695.
