A literary pulp fiction that flays and skewers post-Millennial New York and along the way reinvents the American detective novel. Evan Wright, New York Timesbestselling author

Harry Bloch is a ghostghostwriter, that is. Hes the man behind your favorite pulpy barbarians-in-space novels and vampire romances. Hes no bestselling success, but hes eked out a living as a freelancer, living in Queens in his late mothers apartment. Until now. Dollar signs start dancing in his head when he comes to the attention of Darian Clay, the imprisoned serial killer who tortured and beheaded four women in New York City.

Having exclusive access to Clays storyjust before his execution datewould give Blochs career the lift hes been waiting for. Morality aside, its a win-win situation. But then women start dyingin the exact same manner as Clays previous victims. And Bloch is the one finding them dead, making him the prime suspect unless he can track down the copycat killer.

Bloch knows that nice guys finish last, but now its his chance to prove that mediocre ones should never be underestimated.
