One dead body. Seven mystery writers who all know how to get away with murder. In this wickedly clever whodunit from the bestselling author of Save the Cat! Writes a Novel, the only thing harder than writing the perfect plot twist . . . is surviving it.

If you want to write a murder, you have to set it in the right location‑like an old, converted monastery with an ominous past, hidden deep in the mountains. Then, you have to invite the right people‑like a group of authors attending a prestigious mystery‑writing conference.

Of course, someone should show up uninvited‑like a disgraced literary agent accused of stealing from his top client. Everyone in the story must be hiding something so they can all become suspects when someone ends up dead. That's when they'll turn on one another, digging into the past to uncover dark truths‑like a book canceled on the eve of publication, two million dollars in missing royalties, and an obsessive fan with a hidden agenda.

But don't forget to trap everyone there‑a landslide should do the trick‑so they can't escape when more people turn up dead. . . .

Welcome to the perfect murder. Nothing will go wrong. Because if anyone can get away with murder, it's a writer.
