Teaser Tuesday

Yes, I realize it's Wednesday. But I'm running late this week. Yep, one of those.

Teaser Tuesday is hosted by Should Be Reading. Here's how you play:

* Grab your current read.
* Let the book fall open to a random page.
* Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
* You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
* Please avoid spoilers!

Here's my teaser:

"I will get right to the point," Doniger said. "I need your help. And I will tell you why."
