Works of Genius — Richard Marek

Set against the backdrop of the seamy underside of the glamorous world of New York publishing, this novel tells of a bizarre and destructive relationship between Silver, an ambitious literary agent, and Meredith, his talented client. Their alliance would catapult Silver to the heights, but it was to become more than a professional union - Silver and Meredith would become best friends, mortal enemies and the instruments of one another's salvation or destruction. The author is the president of E.P. Dutton, one of New York's major publishers.
