THE FINAL DRAFT

She received the murder story before the murder occurred.

Crime novelist Mara Vane knows how to create the perfect murder. But when an anonymous manuscript arrives at her home, she discovers a crime even she could never have imagined, one that has not happened yet.

Hours later, the murder described in the chapter becomes real.

Then another chapter arrives.

Each new page predicts a death with terrifying accuracy, and every victim is connected to an unfinished novel Mara abandoned twenty years ago. As the police uncover evidence linking her to the crimes, Mara becomes both their chief suspect and the killer's next possible target.

Desperate to prove her innocence, she follows a trail of encoded clues hidden throughout the manuscript. But the investigation forces her to confront missing memories, buried secrets, and the disturbing possibility that someone knows more about her forgotten book than she does.

The final chapter has already been written.

And this time, Mara's name is in it.

The Final Draft is a gripping psychological suspense thriller about an anonymous manuscript, a series of predicted murders, and a novelist trapped inside a story designed to destroy her.
