In the final gripping novel from the O. Henry Award–winning author of Rich Man, Poor Man, a mysterious phone call threatens to derail a man's life

Roger Damon is a literary agent at the top of his field, but with one anonymous phone call, his life begins to unravel. The caller demands a meeting and threatens Roger with outing past transgressions. To identify the mysterious harasser, Roger reexamines his life and searches for clues in past successes and failures. But each new lead brings greater danger—for him and his family and friends. Soon, Damon realizes that if he doesn't find his tormentor, his tormentor will most certainly find him.
