Uncredited

By Rod Trent

Seven bestsellers. One invisible author. And a killer who's been reading her work.

For seven years, former journalist Mara has written every word of Bennett Crowe's acclaimed Scottish crime novels: the plots, the settings, even the grateful acknowledgments that thank everyone but her. An ironclad NDA keeps her name off the cover. A generous fee keeps her quiet.

Then she notices something no ordinary reader could.

Across the Highlands and Perthshire, people are dying in ways the police have ruled accidents. Each death mirrors a scene she researched and wrote. The research she handed over was never meant to be a blueprint.

Speaking up would make her exactly what Crowe's publishers will say she is: a bitter ghostwriter inventing a monster to claim credit. She has no witnesses and no leverage, and the literary machine behind Crowe is built to protect its star. With Detective Morag Calder, Mara starts building a case the law can't ignore. From the Georgian offices of Charlotte Square to the grounds of Croy House, the circle around Crowe closes ranks, and the people she loves, including her sister Sasha, are pulled into danger.

The next manuscript is already in outline. If Mara can't stop the man whose voice she created, she may end up as a character in it.

Uncredited is a tense psychological thriller about authorship, power, and what it costs to claim your own words. Read the acknowledgments carefully. Some names are missing for a reason.
