The Peeper and the Playwright

Book excerpt: Tom Dulcet's girlfriend has become enamored with Reuben Wild, an eccentric local playwright whose controversial works take aim at the rampant corruption in the city they're performed in. A shadowy political figure known as the Accountant has also become aware of Reuben and has made it his goal to strongarm anyone who supports Wild's subversive plays. Through Tom's eyes, we watch as Reuben's stories embolden and energize his neighbors to rise up against their oppressors. We also partake in Tom's secret obsession, peeping on a beautiful young woman who lives with her parents in the wealthiest neighborhood in the city. The Peeper and the Playwright is a story that will be appreciated by anyone who's ever objected to authority and wanted to fight back against those keeping them down.
