Book Review
Killer Cure
[Ricky] (an oddly jaunty nickname for a Freudian) leads a carefully arranged Upper East Side life of solitude, modest wealth and monklike routine, until he receives a letter from a person who calls himself Rumplestiltskin. \"I exist somewhere in your past,\" the writer says. \"You ruined my life. And now I fully intend to ruin yours.\" Unless Ricky can guess his name within a fortnight, Rumplestiltskin will \"destroy\" one of Ricky's 52 relatives. Name me, the ancient fairy- tale challenge goes, or someone will die. The threatened destruction, unspecified and thus exponentially more terrifying, would also be averted by Ricky's simply killing himself. Of course it's not quite that simple. \"Mr. R.\" also allows Ricky to pose three yes-or-no questions through ads in the New York Times, and knowing what to ask becomes as important as finding the final answer. The tormentor also employs two assistants -- a dazzling, haughty blonde who calls herself Virgil, and a pudgy dandy of a lawyer who goes by Merlin -- who act as guides and instruments in Ricky's fall. Ricky, who moves through the early chapters like a sleepwalker struggling in a nightmare terrain, watches helplessly as his life is systematically dismantled by the vengeful trio -- his home spectacularly ruined, his finances corrupted, his reputation smeared.
