About this ebook

A disenchanted man struggles to get beyond the first chapter of the books he' s writing, and to separate fact from fiction in his own life. His friend' s suicide changes everything ... The mind-blowing, heart-rending new thriller from cult bestselling author Will Carver.

One of the most exciting authors in Britain' Daily Express

_________________________________________

Eli Hagin can' t finish anything.

He hates his job, but can' t seem to quit. He doesn' t want to be with his girlfriend, but doesn' t know how end things with her, either. Eli wants to write a novel, but he' s never taken a story beyond the first chapter.

Eli also has trouble separating reality from fiction.

When his best friend kills himself, Eli is motivated, for the first time in his life, to finally end something himself, just as Mike did...

Except sessions with his therapist suggest that Eli' s most recent first chapters' are not as fictitious as he had intended ... and a series of text messages that Mike received before his death point to something much, much darker...

Will Carver

Will Carver is the international bestselling author of the January David series and the critically acclaimed, mind-blowingly original Detective Pace series that includes Good Samaritans (2018), Nothing Important Happened Today (2019) and Hinton Hollow Death Trip (2020), all of which were ebook bestsellers and selected as books of the year in the mainstream international press. Nothing Important Happened Today was longlisted for both the Goldsboro Books Glass Bell Award 2020 and the Theakston’s Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year Award. Hinton Hollow Death Trip was longlisted for the Guardian’s Not the Booker Prize, and was followed by four standalone literary thrillers, The Beresford, Psychopaths Anonymous, The Daves Next Door and Suicide Thursday. Will spent his early years in Germany, but returned to the UK at age eleven, when his sporting career took off. He currently runs his own fitness and nutrition company, and lives in Reading with his children.
