"An absolute master of modern horror. And a damn fine writer at that" -
Guillermo del Toro
Alex Grand is a successful crime novelist until his latest book is
condemned for appropriating the experience of victims of abuse. In a bid
to rescue his reputation he ghostwrites a memoir of abuse on behalf of a
survivor, Carl Batchelor. Carl's account proves to be less than entirely
reliable; someone is alive who shouldn't be. As Alex investigates the
background of Carl's accusations his grasp of the truth of the book and
of his own involvement begins to crumble. When he has to testify in a
court case brought about by Carl's memoir, this may be one step too far
for his insecure mind...
