Blood Plot - Paperback

by Steven Womack (Author)

From An Edgar and Shamus Award-winning Author

comes a compelling, twisted suspense-thriller guaranteed to keep you up past your bedtime.

At first, it was just research...

Struggling author Michael Schiftmann has received resounding critical acclaim for his novels. The only problem is no one buys or reads them. After several published novels and years of hard work, Michael can't afford to quit his menial day job.

The sad truth is that readers aren't interested in great literature-they want glitz, action, sex & violence.

So that's what Michael decides to give them-shocking, cutting-edge stories of a blood-chillingly efficient yet charming serial killer that are filled with gore and horror.

And to make sure he gets it right, Michael carries research farther than any writer's ever done before. He decides the only way to accurately depict what it feels like to commit murder is to commit one himself.

The plan succeeds beyond his wildest dreams. His fictional killer is a sensation and Michael becomes a rich, best-selling, celebrity novelist.

Michael and his rising-star literary agent, Taylor Robinson, fall in love, have a steamy, passionate affair, and become engaged. They're soon a prominent New York literary power couple.

Things have never been better for the no-longer-struggling Michael Schiftmann. There's just one problem. In doing his research, Michael discovers what it feels like to murder someone, and what he discovers is it feels like is really good...

And now he can't stop.
