Description

From the paperback book jacket: "What begins as an innocent attempt to embarrass an avaricious publisher soon escalates out of control, and an unlikely threesome makes a surprising and unexpectedly different kind of killing at the Frankfurt Book Fair. For when an out-of-pocket professor-turned-novelist plagiarizes an eighteenth-century novel, his unscrupulous publisher turns the book into a runaway best-seller..." "...A suspenseful and sardonic behind-the-scenes look at the world of international publishing."
