"John Meron, a happily married father of two young children, has always lived an unassuming, unexceptional life. But one brief phone call changes everything. On an ordinary summer afternoon, John recognizes the voice of his old friend Jack Calley, a big-time City lawyer, screaming for his life. Meron listens helplessly to the sounds of Calley being viciously attacked and murdered. Most shocking of all are Calley's two last words: the first two lines of Meron's home address...With his wife missing, an unidentified corpse in her office, his home occupied by three armed men, and the police after him for crimes too horrible to contemplate, John Meron's quiet life is about to get a whole lot more interesting..."-- p.
