Ghost Writer — Gary Braver

Prepare for edge-of-your-seat suspense in this Thriller Short.

Originally published in THRILLER 2 (2009),
edited by #1 New York Times bestselling author Clive Cussler.

In this poignant Thriller Short, bestselling author Gary Braver draws from personal experience in a twisting tale that revisits secrets form the past. Geoffrey Dane is a washed-up novelist. Decades removed from his New York Times bestseller status, he's in dire financial straits, estranged from his agent and mired in writer's block, unable to finish his new book. The manuscripts he previously completed sit on his shelf, rejected by publishing houses. But when beautiful Lauren Grant walks into his office with a lifesaving offer, one too good for him to pass up, he makes a choice that will put him in bed with the devil.
