Elliot, a ghostwriter desperate for work, was hired by novelist Richard Graves to complete an unfinished manuscript. The book became an instant bestseller, praised for its originality. But when Elliot stumbled upon an old, forgotten draft in an obscure online forum, he was horrified—it was nearly identical to the novel he had just helped publish. The original author, a once-promising writer, had vanished years ago without a trace. As Elliot dug deeper, he realized his ghostwriting services had unknowingly brought a stolen story to life. Now, the truth was out there, and someone would do anything to keep it buried.
