Produktbeschreibung

In 'Death on the Page-Revenge on the Reviewer', award-winning author Tom McAuliffe delivers a chilling, masterfully woven tale of obsession, revenge, and the dark corners of the human psyche. This psychological thriller is both a labyrinthine journey into the mind of a killer and a razor-sharp exploration of fame, ego, and the terrifying power of words.

When best-selling author Ethan Cole's latest novel is met with brutal criticism from Calvin Reese, a prominent literary reviewer known for his scathing takedowns, his entire careerand sense of selfare threatened. For Ethan, the words aren't just painful; they're career-altering. As his fanbase dwindles and publishers start to look the other way, he finds himself consumed by bitterness and desperation. Reese's review is not just an opinion; it's a sentenceone that marks the end of the future Ethan envisioned for himself. But as his rage festers, an idea takes hold: what if he could make Reese disappear?

Taking inspiration from his own dark novels, Ethan conceives a plan to murder Calvin Reese, using an insidious method pulled straight from the page of his latest work. In a twisted stroke of irony, he carefully soaks the page of a limited edition copy of Death on the Page with a slow-acting poison and hands it over to Reese, who handles it with the exact same contempt he displayed in his review. Soon, Reese's life begins unraveling as symptoms creep in, leading to an agonizing demise that mirrors Ethan's fictional plots.

As Reese's death grips the literary world, no one suspects Ethan's involvement. In fact, public sympathy shifts to Ethan, who plays the grieving, "wronged" author with Oscar-worthy skill. But things take a dangerous turn when Reese's young and determined assistant, Jenna Torres, starts to piece together the puzzle. She becomes suspicious of the uncanny parallels between Reese's symptoms and Ethan's novel. Unwilling to let Reese's death be just another footnote in Ethan's rise, Jenna begins to dig deeper, finding herself drawn into a deadly game that Ethan has already mastered.

Jenna's investigation pits her against a man skilled at staying two steps aheada man willing to do anything to protect his darkest secrets. As she unravels the connection between fiction and reality, Ethan is forced to confront the depths of his own madness. In a twisted showdown that neither anticipated, both must grapple with a haunting question: how far would you go to defend what you believe is rightfully yours?

Death on the Page is a relentless, heart-pounding journey through the shadows of ambition and artistic pride. McAuliffe pulls readers into a story where the line between creator and creation blurs, revealing the horrors that can arise when one's own ego becomes the ultimate villain. Packed with clever twists and morally complex characters, this book is a testament to McAuliffe's mastery of suspense and his keen understanding of what drives people to madness. Readers won't just witness a murderthey'll witness the unraveling of a man whose obsession with approval leads him to commit the ultimate crime.
