Nothing much happens in Donnerville, at least not in the public library.Then the new librarian, Jane Kerry, receives a strange envelope.Inside is a fifty-dollar bill and a note instructing her to 'Look homeward, angel.' Mystified, Jane pulls Thomas Wolfe's novel of that title off the
shelf and finds a second envelope.This one
contains a one-hundred-dollar bill and a clue to another pay-off.Like the first note it is signed 'MOG (Master of Games)'.
Suddenly Jane is hooked, this is one game she must play to the end.The Game requires
more and more of Jane's strength and ingenuity.It destroys her relationship with Brace Paxton, a professor at the local university.It forces her, more than once,to defend her life.And it pushes her
into actions that she knows are crazy, immoral,criminal.Then a scene of horrible
violence makes her realise that things have gone too far.Jane wants to quit.But the Master of Games has other ideas. . . .
