Reginald Humphrey, middle aged and widowed, is a museum researcher whose quiet, bookish life is shattered by obsession. After years of working at the Historical Society in Niccalsetti, New York, he impulsively begins spying on the attractive young woman who moves across the way from his apartment. He soon finds himself invading her life, watching her every move within her tiny rooms.
Into his life walks Dr. HC Siekel, a mysterious, enigmatic seller of glass eyeballs and hi-tech surveillance equipment. Pressured by Siekel, Reginald becomes the ultimate voyeur, a man who puts his life aside in order to spy upon a woman whom he desires but can never have. As his life begins to crumble around him, we watch Reginald struggle to keep his obsession and finally his sanity, in check.
But this is a new world and a new millenium. Reginald soon realizes that he cannot simply turn off the all-seeing eye that rules his life, and his failure brings his story to a devastating conclusion. Chilling, uncompromising and horrifying, "Obsession" offers the reader the dark side of today's technological progress and what may lie behind the end of privacy.
