FRANK YERBY, the brilliant black novelist, is on his deathbed and he knows it. But death frightens Yerby not at all. Death infuriates him. Death means that none of his literary accomplishments will be appreciated. And he will be denied the acclaim that he deserves. But even as Yerby ís mind rages against this unkind fate, characters from his books his own creations rage against him. They accuse him of being the author of his own failure and, in turn, casting them into oblivion. So Yerby's characters determine that he must unravel the mystery of the 'victim's guilt'. Frank Yerby: A Victim's Guilt, transports the reader into a mysterious and fascinating world were history and fiction merge within the actuality of Frank Yerby's mind. Characters from Frank Yerby's own books snatch him from his deathbed and demand that he recant his doctrine of the 'victims guilt'. They believe this doctrine has condemned Yerby as well as his characters to oblivion. Their will to survive is pitted against Yerby's pernicious belief in the 'victim's guilt' with unforeseen consequences for all.
