The Destroying of Harry Blyne — Peter Moir Fotheringham

First, they wrecked his marriage. The attractive blonde who created the traumatic scene in the restaurant was completely convincing. She was Harry's mistress, she said, and what was he doing dining with a woman when he was supposed to be at a writer's conference in Edinburgh? And who was the woman anyway - a cheap pick-up? The woman, of course, was Harry's wife, and there was no way he could persuade her of his innocence. She threw him out. But that was relatively harmless compared to what they did to him later.
Within a short time the bewildered Harry Blyne is an outcast, living in a miserable attic room, short of money, friendless, physically and mentally shattered. The persecution continues relentlessly. And still he has no idea who is doing it or why.
But when he hits rock bottom, Harry Blyne discovers something about himself he'd never known: He has guts. Using the only skill he possesses, he begins to fight back against the anonymous persecutors determined to destroy his life.
