ABOUT
THE BOOK
|
| Cal
Cunningham, a penniless Manhattan bookstore clerk, has always dreamed of
writing a book that would rocket him to the top of the best-sellers list.
Almost Like a Suicide, the great novel, based on Cal's life, fulfils his
every fantasy making Cal the hottest thing in New York. But is Cal the author?
And what happened to his flatmate Stewart, who died in a bicycle accident
and had literary aspirations of his own? In this wickedly satiric thriller, plagiarism, deception and blackmail culminate in Cal plotting not just his second book, but also his first killing. |
