Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Spy
Always it had been like that, thru Peter's twenty years of life. Time after time he would get his feeble clutch fixed upon the ladder of prosperity, and then something would happen - some wretched thing like the stealing of a fried doughnut - to pry him loose and tumble him down again into the pit of misery.
