About this ebook
If you want to write a murder mystery, you have to do some research...
In a luxury flat in Monaco, John Houston's supermodel wife lies in bed, a bullet in her skull.
Houston is the world's most successful novelist, the playboy head of a literary empire that produces far more books than he could ever actually write. Now the man who has invented hundreds of best-selling killings is wanted for a real murder and on the run from the police, his life transformed into something out of one of his books.
And in London, the ghostwriter who is really behind those books has some questions for him too...

I'm a great fan of Kerr's Bernie Gunther, but this sidetrack appears to have bèen written by one of his 'atelier' scribes - ' you studied as a dentist so check out my abscess so you can put a Walther 22 in my open mouth'. Don't think so!
