Agent Wants To Keep The Book?

Janet Reid received a question from an author. The author's agent is quitting the business, but wants to keep the author's book and try to make a sale. Huh?

How can a non-agent make a sale to a publisher? And, if the woman isn't an agent anymore, who is going to track and figure out the royalty statements? How could this work out for anyone?

As usual, Janet has great advice for the author. And, again as usual, the comments section has even more good advice.
