"Consider blocking out a few hours of uninterrupted reading time" for The Writer, #1 New York Times bestselling author James Patterson's "Excellent... perfectly executed ... genuinely suspenseful" (Booklist) thriller about a true-crime author swept up in a murder plot.
"Entertaining...one gonzo plot twist follows the next...loads of fun." (Publishers Weekly)
NYPD Detective Declan Shaw gets a call: How fast can you get to the Beresford building on Central Park West?
In the tower apartment, Shaw finds a woman waiting for him. She's covered in blood. A body is lying dead on the floor of the luxurious living room.
Every book in the apartment's floor-to-ceiling shelves is by the same author: bestselling true-crime writer Denise Morrow.
"This is you?" Shaw asks the woman. "You're a writer?"
Only one person knows the ending to this story. Is it the victim or the killer?
