The date on the book reads - 3rd July, 1977. That was the year i was born! Someone was reading this book that year!
The book is a thriller from the word go. It is perhaps his second book or something, because the cover mentions another book.
The plot revolves around a psychoanalyst who is marked for death and a classic case of hunted becoming the detective to find out who is behind the attacks.
The various threads come together. Some of the maturity that we see in later works is missing, but the crisp dialogues and one liners to live by more than make up for it.
I would recommend this book. It can be read in one go, and its wonderful.
Oh yes, there is some criticism of the fact that the book believes in curing homosexuality, but pls remember.. this is 1977.
