Owen Kline has a problem. He set out to write the perfect mystery novel-but the mystery won't stay on the page.

One moment he's staring at a blinking cursor, the next he's trapped in a cul-de-sac full of oddball neighbors who may or may not exist. There's Mara, who stirs cocktails with suspicious flair; Reed, who walks his dog like it's a weapon; Greene, who counts every blade of grass; and Alfie, Owen's snarky alter ego who refuses to shut up long enough to let him think.

Then come the ominous notes. Manuscript pages appear where they shouldn't. And worst of all, Owen realizes his harshest editor isn't human at all but a grinning skeleton with ink-stained fingers and a pen that bleeds more than ink-a hallucination, maybe, or just the shape his imagination takes when it turns against him.

As fiction and reality bleed together, Owen must decide: is he writing the murders, or living them? And what happens if the story he's creating edits him out?

Wickedly funny and deliciously unsettling, Murder by Manuscript is a mystery for anyone who's ever been haunted by their own imagination. Because in Owen's world, one thing is certain:

Death always edits the final draft.
