Donald Greys, once the king of thrillers, was a name that echoed throughout the literary world. His books, filled with intricate plots and moral dilemmas, captivated millions of readers worldwide. But as the years went by, the popularity of genuine writing was overshadowed by the sensationalism of social media, instant books, and hollow promises from influencers. Donald retreated to the solitude of his home on the edge of the woods, watching as art slowly gave way to deceit.

As he wrestles with his own frustrations, Donald realizes that the new "writers" are nothing more than frauds, people who exploit literature for quick profits. Their empty promises of easy money and instant success ignite his fury. Gradually, his quiet frustration turns into an obsession, and his brilliant mind begins to bend toward dark thoughts.

Inspired by his growing anger, Donald embarks on the most ambitious project of his life—a novel that will make history. But this isn't an ordinary novel. Its story isn't just a product of imagination; it becomes chillingly real. Donald takes justice into his own hands, "using" his victims—influencers—as part of his creative inspiration. Each page is written in blood, and every victim becomes a piece of his dark masterpiece.

As the disappearances begin to draw the attention of local law enforcement, the case is assigned to seasoned detective Jeremy Barnes. The police station becomes a hub of frustration and desperation as the elusive "Bloody Santa Claus" leaves a trail of chaos. Donald, on the other hand, plays a cat-and-mouse game with the police, always one step ahead, hiding the truth even from his beloved partner, Sara.

The tension builds as Donald finally finishes his novel and prepares for a triumphant return to the literary scene. His book launch becomes the event of the year, but when Sara, searching for something seemingly innocent in the basement, uncovers the horrifying truth, everything changes. Donald is exposed, and the promotion of his masterpiece turns into a grotesque spectacle when the police storm in and arrest him in front of a stunned audience.

"The Writer in Red" is a story of art and reality, of the thin line that separates them, and how easily that line can become bloodied. It's a tale of obsession, frustration, and the consequences of being imprisoned by one's own mind. Dark, gripping, and haunting, this novel questions the boundaries of morality and the price of artistic obsession.

Will Donald Greys be remembered as a master of the written word—or as the monstrous writer in red?
