Description

A ghostwriter is tasked with capturing the memoirs of a celebrity widely suspected of murder; now she's locked in an interview room with a killer and he's ready to confess... Jack Smyth has always sworn that he's innocent in the murder of his wife. A year ago, he ran into their burning home to pull Kate's body from the wreckage. Some people called him a hero, others said he must be guilty- after all, there's no smoke without fire. Now, a year on, he's signed a book deal. He wants to tell his side of the story, unfiltered - he just needs someone to help him write it. Emily has never ghostwritten anything before, but she knows what it's like to live with a terrible secret. And soon she begins to suspect that, even on the pages of his book, Jack is still trying to hide secrets of his own . . . She's about to learn that there are some stories that should never be told.
