Aprašymas

This novella is not a comedy but is a whimsical piece, fashioned to produce smiles from beginning to end. Upon his retirement, a not so nice accountant who feels his boss has put upon him and cheated him for 27 years, takes steps to correct things. That requires he must change his identity. Changing his identity requires that he must change that identity - and so on and so on. Upshot is the necessity for nearly a dozen, plot modifying, twists and turns as the story winds its way toward its unpredictable conclusion. There is suspense, mystery, humor and a few incidental little bludgeoning's. The reader my want to keep a score card. On one level the writing is just lots of fun. On another - let several reviewers handle that: "A fascinating exploration of the psyche of an amoral egotist." "A rare presentation of fear and anxiety at work within the mind of a man without conscious." "Flawlessly constructed." "Smiled 'til I thought my cheeks would burst."
