More Description'Until recently I had only killed people on paper . . .' Frank F ns is a bestselling thriller writer. His latest novel is about a murderer who preys on people's phobias. He lives alone on the north coast of Zealand, hiding away from the attentions and demands his celebrity brings. But that is all about to change. The body of a young woman is found in the harbour near Frank's cottage. She has been drowned. The girl had been dressed exactly as the character (who has a phobia of drowning) in his latest, still unpublished book, and killed in exactly the way Frank wrote it. Very few people have yet read the manuscript. When a second body is discovered, again killed in a style described by Frank in a previous book, any hope that this is just a cruel coincidence is banished. Who is copying the murders in Frank's books and why? What message are they trying to send the author? Could they be a crazed fan? To discover the truth Frank is going to have to go back deep into his past, and face his own worst demons.
