THE AUTHOR OF DEATH

The final manuscript has arrived. But the ending is blank.

For twenty-five years, the world has known bestselling crime novelist Eleanor Vale. Now she discovers that even her own name may be a lie.

Before the fame, the books, and the carefully constructed memories, she was Clara Grey, the younger sister of a murdered writer whose work became part of a secret experiment involving authorship, identity, manipulation, and murder.

Now Eleanor possesses the manuscript that could expose everything: The Author of Death.

Its pages promise to reveal who created Orpheus, who controlled her career, why her identity was erased, and who has been turning written murders into reality. But there is one terrifying problem.

The final chapters have never been written.

As hidden contributors emerge and old betrayals are uncovered, Eleanor realizes there may never have been a single mastermind. Manuscripts have been stolen, rewritten, and manipulated for decades-and every person involved has been editing more than fiction.

They have been editing her life.

With the truth closing in and the people behind Orpheus making their final moves, Eleanor must confront the crimes buried inside her own past and decide where responsibility truly begins.

To discover the killer, she must do the one thing she has been warned never to do.

She must finish the story.

But when fiction has already inspired murder, writing the ending could determine who survives it.

The Author of Death is the explosive third and final book in The Unwritten Murders Trilogy, a psychological crime thriller about stolen identities, deadly manuscripts, buried secrets, unreliable memories, and the dangerous power of deciding who gets to write the truth.
