"When Professor Dominic Hallkyn receives an anonymous phone call late one night from a voice claiming to possess a priceless Chaucerian manuscript presumed lost forever, he doesn't know how to react. He soon finds himself in a scramble to meet the caller's demands, culminating in uncompromising suspense and a devilish plot twist. Perry takes his readers on a mad dash through the twisting streets of Boston in a struggle for this unique historic artifact that may be doomed to disappear from history, this time for good.
