After a hapless attempt to help the victim, Jacob decides to forget the incident entirely. And for a while, he does, returning to his bohemian life in NYC as if nothing of consequence had occurred. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSeven years later, Jacob is blissfully married. Now \u003ci\u003emostly\u003c\/i\u003e sober, and \u003ci\u003emostly\u003c\/i\u003e at peace with his failed writing career, he's feeling alright as he heads to his father-in-law's birthday celebration in the Hamptons, even as he knows the well-heeled WASPs that populate his in-laws' social circle will spend the weekend treating him with polite disdain. Everything shifts, however, when Jacob arrives on Long Island and begins to realize that those well-heeled WASPs are not as harmless as they seem. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOver the course of this propulsive, at times blackly comic narrative, Jacob wavers between addled narcissism and earnest commitment as he searches for the brutal, booze-soaked truth. Indebted to the suspenseful, page-turning plotwork of Patricia Highsmith and the operatic madness of Dario Argento, \u003ci\u003eDon't Step into My Office\u003c\/i\u003e is a mesmerizing literary puzzle.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67391501729837,"sku":"WHS-adad7f6dca9f41f3b929edc31c05cea7","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_43b3b447-3e9a-41f3-ada5-8c74d8dfa37e.jpg?v=1787354833","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/dont-step-into-my-office","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
