Description
Ten years after a celebrated literary novelist vanishes without a trace, his long-lost final manuscript emerges—not as the expected masterpiece, but as a pulpy espionage thriller packed with coded clues. Asked to annotate the book, the author’s former friend, C. B. Everett, begins uncovering unsettling connections between its fictional spies and the people and events of their shared past. As the boundary between story and reality grows increasingly blurred, he must decipher the manuscript to uncover the truth before its secrets place him in danger. A clever, atmospheric book-within-a-book mystery, this twisty thriller explores friendship, identity, betrayal, and the perilous distance between what we read and what we know.
