Revenge.

Everyone wants it: Ex-wives, ex-husbands, lovers, and friends, all have a score to settle. This most common of human desires is woven into a network of thoughts, which leads to lies, deceit and, sometimes, murder.

When it comes to revenge, Jerry is just the man for the job. Whether manipulating the living or summoning the dead, he can even the score one way or another. No ordinary grantor of wishes, he deals only in revenge—complete, sweet revenge. Cheap, too...at least at first.

Richard Raines will learn the hard way that the price is high; perhaps too high. The price might lead to even more suffering than he endured in his failed marriage. He will realize that he is no longer in control. Bit by bit, Jerry has begun to take over, until Richard is no longer sure what is real and what is imagined. Perhaps Jerry isn't real at all.

After following events surrounding Jerry's network for eight years, George Morrison knows more about the 'thought network' than he's willing to at first admit. He knows, for instance, that Richard will die within ten days, and he knows he will not be able to stop it alone. Unable to fathom the guilt inherent with this knowledge, he recruits Richard's best friend and neighbor, Paul Frazier, to help him try to stop the death and destruction once and for all.
