Revenge Plot

A desperate writer's pursuit of a powerful literary agent takes a dark turn in this new novel from the internationally bestselling author of The Hitchcock Hotel and Darling Rose Gold. All Arnie Tenderton wants this Christmas-all he's ever wanted-is to be a published author. For decades he has toiled over one novel after another. Each was missing something. Until now. He's finally written his perfect book.
What he needs next is a literary agent, someone who can get his book into publishers' hands. Not just any agent will do, of course. Arnie wants the best. Arnie wants Claudia Conley. She already rejected him once, and Arnie has never forgiven her. He could move on. Instead, he finds out where Claudia is spending the holidays: alone in a remote house in the Catskill Mountains. He decides to show up there to make his pitch.
Claudia may try to turn him down again, but this time Arnie won't take no for an answer. Because his book is about her. And he's not leaving until the story ends the way he wants.
