GIDEON by Russell Andrews

Description

When they asked him to be a ghost writer, he didnt 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 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.

Then suddenly, brutally two people close to Carl are murdered, his apartment is ransacked, his computer stolen, and he himself is the chief suspect. With no alibi and no proof of his shadowy assignment, Carl becomes a man on the run. He knows too much but not enough to save himself
