Description
Once a struggling novelist and frustrated MFA instructor, Jacob Finch Bonner seizes on the extraordinary story idea of a former student and transforms it into a bestselling novel. Fame and fortune follow, but so does an anonymous accusation that he is a thief, forcing Jake to confront the increasingly disturbing truth behind the book’s origins. As he investigates his late student’s life and the source of the supposedly perfect plot, he is drawn into a suspenseful reckoning with ambition, authorship, plagiarism, and the dangerous line between inspiration and theft. This literary thriller offers a sharp, atmospheric examination of the publishing world and the stories writers will risk everything to claim.
