Happy fifty third birthday, Doctor. Welcome to the first day of your
death. Dr. Frederick Starks, a New York psychoanalyst, has just
received a mysterious, threatening letter. Now he finds himself in the
middle of a horrific game designed by a man who calls himself
Rumplestiltskin. The rules: in two weeks, Starks must guess his
tormentor's identity. If Starks succeeds, he goes free. If he fails,
Rumplestiltskin will destroy, one by one, fifty-two of Dr. Starks' loved
ones--unless the good doctor agrees to kill himself. In a blistering
race against time, Starks' is at the mercy of a psychopath's devious
game of vengeance. He must find a way to stop the madman--before he
himself is driven mad. . . .
