This is my first thriller by Katzenbach, and boy, he can write a good one!
The protagonist is Ricky Starks, a New York analyst, who for his 53rd birthday receives a nasty gift: a threatening letter from someone in his past who wants revenge. In 15 days a member of Ricky's family will be killed, unless Ricky guesses the identity of his nemesis, or commits suicide. To help him in this quest, his enemy, who calls himself Rumpelstilskin, will give him clues and will answer 3 questions.
Ricky, undertandably, feels shaked and unsure, but over the next days Rumpelstilskin shows him he means business. Ricky's life crumbles around him, and soon he understands he is at the mercy of a remorseless killer who won't stop at anything to ruin him financially and morally. Ricky finds out that he is all alone, and he doesn't have any alternative but enter into Rumpelstilskin's sick game if he wants a chance at survival.
