Description
Roger Damon is at the peak of his career: successful, well-liked, happily married. An ordered decent life.
Until the phone call. A strange voice, full of loathing and menace. A voice that is enough to jolt Damon from his trance of happiness on to a downward path of shattered confidence as he comes to see all too clearly the frailty of his previous certainties.
The blows rain in: an old friend dies, a woman he once knew well is killed. And all the while the threatening calls continue. Drinking heavily, his professional life endangered, his downward path steepens and spirals down into a near madness, hallucination and physical collapse.
Yet this process of destruction is checked as a new honesty of insight revives his will to survive. But to survive now at a level of more modest, truer self-knowledge. ISBN:9780450056796
