She thought she’d try her hand at crime fiction.

She even had a title: A Murder Foretold. She wrote it up, using her friend as the imaginary victim. “What fun,” they giggled! Until her friend turned up dead.

Insurance investigator Charlie Novak arrives to monitor the investigation. He knows the victim, of course. She was to be his next kill in a black-widower insurance scheme he’s been running with his partner for years.

He’s not really a serial killer. For him it’s just business.

So who beat him to the dead girl? He needs to find out before the cops connect the dots. Then Charlie makes the mistake of falling for that writer. Now the cops are the least of his worries.

Readers of The Talented Mr. Ripley, by Patricia Highsmith, or Presumed Innocent, by Scott Turow, or The Collector, by John Fowles, will enjoy inhabiting the mind of this conflicted serial killer as he begins to fall in love.
