Crime writer Aggie Catchlove can never forget how celebrity author Kit Stirling stole her famous 'twist'. At the Crème de la Crime festival, fellow novelist Jakob Hök learns that Kit's next book is a rip-off of his long-running Nordic Noir series. So Jakob and Aggie furiously plot the perfect murder of a man who is killing their careers. But when Kit Stirling is found dead for real, fingers point at Aggie and Jakob.

They decide the only way to clear their names is to investigate. As the police lock down the event, Aggie and Jakob split up to double their efforts, but paranoia is a third wheel that destabilises their alliance. Both writers want to tell the story, not be the story. And, when push comes to shove, they'll do anything to be the voice of the final chapter.
