When Evan, Jake's most arrogant student, announces that his own book in progress is a sure thing, Jake dismisses the boast as amateur narcissism. Then... he hears the plot.

But at the height of his glorious new life, an email arrives, the first salvo in a terrifying, anonymous campaign: You are a theif, it says. As Jake struggles to understand his antagonist and hide the truth from everyone else, he begins to learn about his late student, and what he discovers both amazes and terrifies him. Where did Evan get the idea for his novel? What ist the real story behind it, and who stole it from whom?" -- page [4] of cover
