After traveling through Europe for two years, Scully and his wife Jennifer wind up
in Ireland, and on a mystical whim of Jennifer's, buy an old farmhouse which
stands in the shadow of a castle. While Scully spends weeks alone renovating the
old house, Jennifer returns to Australia to liquidate their assets. When Scully
arrives at Shannon Airport to pick up Jennifer and their seven-year-old daughter,
Billie, it is Billie who emerges -- alone. There is no note, no explanation, not so
much as a word from Jennifer, and the shock has left Billie speechless. In that
instant, Scully's life falls to pieces.
The Riders is a superbly written and a darkly haunting story of a lovesick man in
a vain search for a vanished woman. It is a powerfully accurate account of
marriage today, of the demons that trouble relationships, of resurrection found in
the will to keep going, in the refusal to hold on, to stand still. The Riders is also a
moving story about the relationship between a loving man and his tough, bright
daughter.
