Summary

BEN MADE A BAD DEAL

Ben Little is broke, jobless, and failing at his one true passion in life: writing. He can’t even afford medical treatments for his ailing son.

When bestselling novelist Jack Fleischer takes an interest in him as a co-author, Ben thinks he has found his big break. But he quickly learns that working with Fleischer is no dream job. The bestseller is demanding, angry, and cruel.

BEN IS LOSING EVERYTHING

Since signing the contract with Fleischer’s publisher, Ben is being followed by shadowy agents. His wife is accusing him of things he doesn’t remember doing, and the contract is full of bizarre terms. Like dangerous research trips that involve binge drinking, torture, and worse. Writing has become nearly impossible, and if Ben breaches the contract, he’ll lose everything.

But Ben is not about to surrender to Fleischer. He is willing to do anything in his power to save his family, and his life.
