When a fledgling and failing novelist comes up with the idea of a lifetime—a murder mystery—he brings in a stenographer to type it up as he feverishly dictates the story. Up against an unyielding deadline, the writer tells his tale while struggling with his disinterested typist in a battle of wills.
The author’s novel—embedded into Final Draft—is the story of a hardboiled crime reporter who figures out a plot to seduce and marry a dying heiress in order to gain her fortune. His plan however, is beset with challenges and he finds himself in an ever darker, ever deeping maze of intrigue…something the author suddenly seems unable to escape himself as the writer’s fiction merges with his own life.

“It’s hard not to put yourself, as the reader, in Victoria’s place. Alone, scared, misunderstood, trapped in her bed, and frantically trying to find someone, anyone to believe her. My heart is pounding just thinking about it.”
Duane C. –
“Classic suspense story with everything a reader could ask for within a small space and a limited amount of time. The character’s desperation to be heard comes through on every page. Great read!”
Charlie R. –
“The author takes the simplest of elements—basically a telephone—and turns it into an object of terror. The suspense builds exponentially as Victoria’s anxiety builds to a breaking point.”
