Summarise Your Book Manuscript Into a Three-Paragraph Agent Pitch

The manuscript exists. Now you have to describe it in 200 words to someone who reads 50 of these a day. This produces the three-paragraph pitch: the hook and premise, the stakes and what drives the book, and the market positioning with comparisons. It is confident and specific and does not begin with the word 'in'. Describe the book.
