Description

Editor Susan Ryland reads the manuscript of a detective novel that eagerly awaits the fans of a popular series—and discovers that the most interesting part is missing: the ending. Susan begins searching for the missing pages and, along the way, invents possibilities, trying to guess who the murderer is. She makes a list of suspects… The news of Alan Conway’s death, the author of that very detective novel, catches her off guard. Did he kill himself? Was he a victim of an accident? But Susan has edited crime books for twenty years—deductive reasoning is familiar to her firsthand. By comparing certain facts, she comes to the conclusion that it was a disguised murder, and, at risk to her life, she starts untangling this detective knot… A novel within a novel, a literary game full of riddles and mystifications.
