<p>A writer desperate to publish something that would right his sinking career; a cold-blooded ex-killer aching to tell the world his story; and a secret dark and chilling known by none but them.</p><p> </p><p>Life had been going swimmingly for literary phenomenon Alan Michaels: earth-spanning fame a bank-stretching fortune and a creative mind that seemed never to have churned out a bad idea.</p><p> </p><p>But then just as he was at the absolute peak of his powers Alan was met with a horrific road accident. He was lent many a scar and scab but that was not the worst of it; ever since-what with all the blackouts headaches and missing memories-his words fell on the page strangely and sickly not at all as they used to: the genius in him was gone.</p><p> </p><p>With his career at a standstill a desperate Alan learns of a freshly-released convict: if the whispers were true a dangerous yet interesting individual keen on sharing tales of his killings with the world. A bulb lights up in Alan's head: he knows how he'd get his career back.</p><p> </p><p>When articles begin appearing in the papers however Alan realizes he's bitten off more than he could chew; they are a perfect match for the grizzly murder scenes that the strangely eloquent ex-convict paints for him. And what's more?</p><p> </p><p>The bodies are far far fresher than he'd first thought.</p>
