Any attorney will say to start with the publisher. I believe it is Random House. If they're not the proper party, then can tell you who is. Consult with an attorney in your area for specific advice.

The publisher may or may not be the copyright owner, but that's a place to start. Also, look for the copyright information in the front of a recent edition of the book.
