He meticulously draws up battle plans and strategies for how to seduce Rachel, and thus the “Rachel Papers” are born.

In a trance of impotent rage, Tull devises a vicious plan to ruin his friend—or at least hurt him as badly as possible—and finds himself tumbling into London’s criminal underworld, as well as the darkest precincts of his own soul.
