Then one day Jane finds an envelope containing a fifty dollar bill and a note instrucing her to "Look homeward, angel." Jane pulls a copy of the Thomas Wolfe novel of that title off the shelf and finds a second envelope. This one contains a hundred dollar bill and another clue. Like the first, it's signed, "MOG (Master of Games)." The game has begun....

Nohting much happens in Donnerville. At least not to the young librarian, Jane Kerry. Then one day Jane finds an envelope containing a fifty-dollar bill and a note instructing her to "Look homeward, angel." Jane pulls a copy of the Thomas Wolfe novel of that title off the shelf and finds a second envelope. This one contains a hundred-dollar bill and another clue. Like the first, it's signed "MOG (Master of Games)." The game has begun...
But this is no ordinary game. As it goes on, it requires more and more of Jane's strenght and ingenuity. It pushes her into actions that she knows are creazy, immoral or criminal - and it becomes continually more dangerous. More than once, Jane has to fight for her life. But she soon learns she can't quit this game. MOG won't let her. She'll have to play to the bitter end.

A chilling, suspenseful, page-turner of a book that asks the question, what would you do for money?

This is a page-turner!! A woman gets a strange letter with money enclosed asking her to perform a simple task....the tasks get more bizarre and dangerous as the amounts of money get larger - it ends with a deadly encounter.

Although I liked this book, in my opinion it was NOT one of his better books. (And I have ready ALOT of Laymon's books) I thought the story was dragging in parts and some parts could of been left out all together.

WOW! This book is the perfect balance of fear, suspense, mystery, and romance. Laymon grabs you from page one and doesn't let go until the very end. He threw everything into the mix: graveyards at midnight, dangerous strangers, creepy abandoned houses (with spiders!), dark, lonely roads, and a villain as demented, illusive, and evil as they come. The plot is original; I've never read any other book quite like it. If you like psychological thrillers and you're not afraid of the dark, you're in for a real treat!
