The List

Viac o knihe

A bold scheme to outwit the biggest players in publishing and film drives this suspenseful thriller, where the price of fame becomes terror. Gable Cooper, an unknown author, has a novel worth six million dollars in book and film rights—but Gable Cooper doesn't exist. Abby Chandlis, an attorney turned novelist, created this phantom author. In a world where glamour often trumps substance, Abby devises a plan to keep her writing career alive: she needs a charismatic male figure to pose as Gable Cooper for her thrilling story. Enter Jack Jermaine, a man with dangerous good looks and a shadowy past. Trained by the military, Jack has a passion for writing but is plagued by a bitter truth: he can't write. As Abby searches for a suitable candidate, Jack forces his way into her life, and she reluctantly realizes his charm could secure her novel's success. She strikes a deal, and Jack becomes Gable Cooper. As he rises to celebrity status, Abby finds herself both seduced and ensnared by her creation. Success spirals into terror, leading Abby from the Pacific Northwest to New York City and the Caribbean, racing against time to find the one person who can reveal her authorship and end the nightmare that has overshadowed her dream of making The List.
