The Royalties of Murder: He Wrote the Book on Murder. She Wrote the Ending.

By Michael Monroe

Walker Davidson is a master of the perfect murder. As a global bestselling crime novelist, he has spent decades meticulously Plotting the deaths of his characters. But when his wife, Virginia, vanishes from their blood-soaked estate, the police find a manuscript in his desk that mirrors the crime scene down to the last gruesome deatil.

In the courtroom of the century, Walker is a man in his element. He treats the jury like an audience and the prosecution like a bad review. Just as the noose begins to tighten, Walker delivers the ultimate plot twist: The victim is standing in the back of the room. With the murder charges dismissed and the world in a frenzy over the "Hoax of the Decade," Walker retreats to a secluded cabin to meet the woman he suppossedly killed. He thinks he has rewritten reality to secure a life of wealth and freedom. He thinks he's the architect of the human con.

But, in the world of thrillers, the most dangerous character is the one you didn't see coming. As the snow begins to fall and the wine is poured, Walker is about to learn that every story has a final edit-and this time, he isn't the one holding the pen.
