The protagonist in this book is really an anti-hero. You probably won’t like him much, but his story makes for an absorbing tale. Maurice Swift’s obsession since his youth was to become a famous and respected author. While he demonstrated a talent for writing, he constantly struggled to produce plot lines. Not to worry! Others have great ideas that Maurice co-opts as his own. A charming, handsome sociopath, he wreaks havoc in the personal and professional lives of those he touches before they are aware of his true intentions.
