THE DISTINCTIVE NEW THRILLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF RECOVERY OF ROSE GOLD AND THE HITCHCOCK HOTEL
They tell you to write what you know. But what if that's a story to die for?
All Arnie Tenderton wants is to be a published author. For years he's been trying to write the perfect novel. Finally, he's done it.
Now he just needs a literary agent. Arnie wants the best. He wants Claudia. And he just so happens to know where she is spending Christmas: in a remote house in the Catskills mountains.
Claudia is no stranger to Arnie. She's rejected him once before, but he's confident she's going to want to read this book.
Because this one is about her. And it will expose the very secret she has been trying to keep hidden.
This story could be the making of him, or the ending of her...
