An up-and-coming young writer who has little in common with Kloster, a literary giant whose disturbing crime novels dominate the bestseller lists. However, they have both, at one time, employed the secretarial services of the alluring Luciana B. Out of the past, Luciana makes a desperate plea to the young writer. She thinks that Kloster is slowly killing off everyone close to her--can he help before her grandmother and younger sister are murdered? While the narrator suspects her misfortunes have driven her mad, Kloster has a powerful motive; and eerie parallels surface between the murders in Kloster's books and the real-life deaths surrounding Luciana. As the body count multiplies, the question arises: Can words really kill?

Work Description

"One sleepy Sunday morning in Buenos Aires a struggling writer receives an unexpected phone call that draws him into the tangled story of Luciana, an old acquaintance, and Kloster, a rival author. The shocking things he discovers will make him question everything he had always taken for granted about chance and calculation, cause and effect." "One by one, Luciana's loved ones are dying - and she or her sister could be next. She's convinced that Kloster is behind the deaths, punishing her for the breakup of his family in a murderous frenzy of revenge worthy of one of his bestselling crime novels. But which comes first, murder or novel? The Book of Murder is a tale in which the line between fact and fiction suddenly seems blurred."--Jacket.
