  • "L'enquête s'ouvre sur le suicide bâclé de Pendleton, écrivain et professeur raté. Des années plus tôt, il a publié un roman sur un psychopathe meurtrier d'une adolescente. Adi, étudiante, trouve le manuscrit en fouillant chez lui. Alors que Pendleton est plongé dans le coma, la réimpression du roman a un vif succès. L'intrigue du roman ressemble au crime non élucidé d'une jeune fille du voisinage."

  • ""For E. Robert Pendleton, a professor clinging to tenure and living in the shambles of his once-bright literary career, death seems to be the only remaining option. But his suicide attempt fails, and during his long convalescence, a novel is discovered hidden in his basement: a brilliant, semi-autobiographical story with a gruesome child murder at its core. The publication of Scream causes a storm of publicity and raises questions about its content-in particular, about the uncanny resemblance between Pendleton's fictional crime and a real-life, unresolved local murder. How did Pendleton know the case so well? And why did he bury Scream in his basement? A rare blend of suspense, humor and insight, Death of a Writer is "dark, disturbing and damnably good" (Baltimore Sun)."--Publisher's website."
