Mercer Mann is a young novelist with a severe case of writer s block who has recently been laid off from her teaching position. She is approached by an elegant, mysterious woman working for an even more mysterious company.

But soon Mercer learns far too much, and there s trouble in paradise as only John Grisham can deliver it.
