In this “sleek and suspenseful” novel, accusations of plagiarism wreak havoc on a big-name author's professional and personal lives, unleashing the part of his mind that invents the plots of his violent, lurid, and masochistic noir thrillers (Publishers Weekly). “This tale of suspense makes for another high-caliber Oatesian outing, displaying flair, noir sophistication, and [Stephen] King-like flourishes.” —Library Journal, starred review |
