Frequently forgotten for good reason, there can be hidden gems that slipped through the cracks. Their covers paint pictures that can lead the mind to wander and create intricate narratives as it searches for an explanation. On the heels of Lewis' \u003ci\u003eL’Amour\u003c\/i\u003e, Light In The Attic has unearthed another of his private press enigmas.

There's a certain darkness that lies below the linen suit and white Mercedes, one that is Lewis' and Lewis' alone.
