Whatever he writes, he lives. But unless he can draft a happy ending, his next release will be murder...

Author Marco Ocram has a supernaturally reckless way with words. While other novelists handle story structure without disaster, Marco's impulsive narratives come to life in the real world. And when a corpse is discovered in the local shipyard, he can't help but write himself into a true-crime mystery.

Frantically scribbling each line to assist his best friend the police chief in solving the case, the hapless author accidentally invites the attention of a dangerous criminal gang. And after he's abducted and stuffed into a car trunk, he's horrified to discover his crazy characters have taken on their own homicidal existence. Paralyzed by a terminal bout of writer's block, he fears hitting a very dead end.

Can Marco pen the killer into a corner before he's published posthumously?
