Description

When a young writer dies before completing his first novel, his teacher, Jake, (himself a failed novelist) helps himself to its plot. The resulting book is a phenomenal success. But what if somebody out there knows

Somebody does. And if Jake can't figure out who he's dealing with, he risks something far worse than the loss of his career.

'one of the best novels I've ever read about writers and writing. It's also insanely readable and the suspense quotient is through the roof. It's remarkable.' - Stephen King
