He thinks it's his story, the man I have just killed, but it is my story. Let him tell it first though, as he has already written it? Struggling journalist and aspiring author Y is looking for a real-life multiple murder case to write about just like Truman Capote's In Cold Blood. At a mystery/crime-writing festival in London his old friend DCI Dave Lennon rushes in announcing that the festival's star turn, an American bestselling author, has just been killed. More murders swiftly follow in a macabre pattern and before he knows it Y is not only writing about the hunt for a serial killer with a grudge against crime authors, he's in the story. The pursuit takes them from England to the USA and finally to Sweden. This is a novel about novels and a lonely writer looking for someone to love? and someone who kills.
