Revenge

by Alan White

A king kills his daughter, heads off to war, returns with a mistress and faces the wrath of his wife. It happened with Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, in ancient Greece, and it happens with Alex and Nessa, in present-day America--except that Alex is a professor who heads off on a sabbatical. But their daughter is dead, she does hold him responsible, he does return with a mistress, and she does seek revenge.
