Description
Robert Pendleton's literary career has stalled, leaving him clinging to his tenure at Bannockburn college. His life is further complicated by the arrival of David Horowitz, a bestselling author who was once his friend but now seems like an enemy. When Pendleton attempts to take his own life, he is intervened upon by Adi Wiltshire, a graduate student struggling with her own failures and ambitions. In the aftermath of this event, Adi discovers a novel written by Pendleton in his basement - a story that features a gruesome murder at its core. The publication of Scream sparks a media frenzy, drawing Adi and Horowitz into a complex web of fact and fiction. As they delve deeper into the case, they uncover dark secrets and unexpected connections to real-life crimes. A gripping novel with a dark and twisted plot, Scream explores the blurred lines between reality and fiction, and the devastating consequences that can result when the two collide.
