Burke Devore is a paper company manager, a man who can tell you
everything you ever wanted to know about bleaching processes and
the edible wood pulp they put in ice cream. For twenty-five years
Burke has provided for his family and played by the rules. Until
now. Now Devore is slipping away: from his wife, his family, and
from all norms of civilized behavior. Burke Devore wants his life
back. And he will do anything to get it. Donald E. Westlake has
written a tale of dark, mesmerizing power about one quiet, ordinary
victim of corporate downsizing - who reacts in a most extraordinary
way. From his attempts to land a new job, to the growing rift
between him and his loved ones, Devore knows that he is running out
of time. Believing that there is just one way to earn the only job
he has a chance of getting, he sets off on a path from which there
can be no turning back - no matter how bizarre and violent, no
matter who gets in the way; no matter how evil Burke Devore
becomes. Burke Devore is gunning for his competition, and it's
getting easier every time...
