From #1 New York Times murder-thriller author James Patterson, when a world-famous crime writer’s husband is found dead, detectives must uncover if she is the target, the next victim—or a mastermind.

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?
