A true-crime author gets swept up in a murder plot in The Writer, a psychological thriller that is "excellent ... perfectly executed ... genuinely suspenseful, even shocking" (Booklist).

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 two people.
One of them is famous.
One of them is dead.
And only one of them knows the ending to this story. Is it the victim or the killer?
