BESTSELLING NOVELIST JOHN HOUSTONS WIFE FOUND MURDERED AT THEIR LUXURY APARTMENT IN MONACO.
Houston is the richest writer in the world, a book factory publishing many bestsellers a year so many that he cant possibly write them himself. He has a team that feeds off his talent; ghost writers, agents, publishers. So when he decides to take a year out to write something of quality, a novel that will win prizes and critical acclaim, a lot of people stand to lose their livelihoods.
Now Houston, the prime suspect in his wifes murder, has disappeared. He owns a boat and has a pilots licence he could be anywhere and there are many whod like to find him.
First theres the police. If hes innocent, why did he flee? Then again, maybe he was set up by one of his enemies. The scenario reads like the plot of one of Houstons million-copy-selling thrillers
