Produktbeschreibung
Stanley Daniels has a PhD in bad luck. Every bus missed, his umbrella inside out on rainy days, even his boss of two years calls him Stephen on the daily. A man of few words, he follows his routine down to the second. Waking at 5:57am. Staring at his clock until 6:00am. Burning his toast at 6:23am. Hating on everyone until bedtime. But today will be different. On the first anniversary of his wife's passing, Stanley finds the universe acting strangely towards him. He misses the bus. Standard. The wind blows against him. What's new? But people at work are acting different. There's a buzz in the air. Suddenly he's not invisible anymore. And a sudden summoning to the 11th floor sets in motion a series of events that will change the course of Stanley's life. Is she watching? Is she pulling strings from above? And will an unclaimed lottery ticket play a part in the most un-Stanley of days?
