Set in 1970s Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, it opens as the groundskeeper of Schenley Park Golf Course tries to waken Megan Phillips on the fourteenth-hole fairway, where she seems to be sleeping off a drinking binge. But Phillips, after psychiatric examination, can't remember a large blank in her life. Slowly she begins to realize that she was hypnotized, and that she must find the culprit to get her life back.[2]

Paul said that she wrote the novel in two weeks, in a deliberate attempt to see how fast a novel could be written. She was pleased with the result, saying that "Doubleday accepted the book without a murmur... it stands up to re-reading, which is always the acid test."[3]
