"Don't close the book." That's the last message Elias Ward received before everything fell apart. As a crime journalist chasing stories of death, Elias never expected one to chase him back. But when a mysterious novel predicts each new murder - and a detective with too many secrets gets involved - Elias finds himself trapped between obsession and madness. Every page takes him closer to the truth. Every word drags him deeper into the dark. And some stories aren't meant to end.
