Hard Feelings

For computer-networking salesman Richard Segal, life has been tough lately. He hasn’t made a sale in months, his wife might be sleeping with an old boyfriend, and he’s starting to drink again. On his way home from work one evening, he spots a familiar face across Fifth Avenue - Michael Rudnick, a guy who grew up across the street from him in Brooklyn. What seems like a harmless encounter becomes anything but when Richard is haunted by a terrifying memory. As the stress in Richard’s life builds, he becomes obsessed with two questions: What exactly happened in Michael Rudnick’s basement twenty-two years ago? And what is he going to do about it now? In the classic tradition of Jim Thompson and Patricia Highsmith, Hard Feelings is a gripping, original novel of paranoia, obsession, and revenge.
