Gideon

When they asked him to be a ghost writer, he didn't realise they wanted him dead.

Struggling writer Carl Granville is hired to turn an old diary, articles and letters - in which all names and locations have been blanked out - into a compelling fiction. For this, and for his silence, he will be paid a quarter of a million dollars. But Carl soon realises that the book is more than just a potential bestseller. It is a revelation of chilling evil and a decades-long cover-up by someone with far-reaching power. He begins to wonder how his book will be used, and just who is the true storyteller.
