    A riveting, dark, and layered thriller that cuts through the glamorous façade of the publishing world to expose the true cost of ambition. 
     
    Some stories are too dangerous to tell—especially when they’re your own. 
     
    Addison Comstock is a literary icon, known for her bestselling crime novels, razor-sharp tongue, and relentless rise to the top. But behind her polished brand lies a ruthless past filled with secrets, betrayals, and broken lives—including those of the writers she’s employed to ghostwrite her success. 
     
    When her longtime editor collapses and dies during a team retreat in Jamaica, what appears to be a medical emergency soon begins to feel like something far more sinister. Tensions rise, loyalties fray, and whispers of sabotage grow louder. Someone in Addison’s inner circle has decided enough is enough—and they’re using the plot of her next book as the blueprint for revenge. 
     
    As the body count climbs and buried truths resurface, Addison hires a private investigator to infiltrate her own team, desperate to maintain control of her crumbling empire. But with accusations flying and her dirty past threatening to go public, even Addison begins to question who she can trust—and how far she’s willing to go to protect her legacy.
