The Book He Didn't Write

A Private Investigator Novel of Secrets, Survival, and Desire

Evan Harding never meant to become famous for surviving.
Months after the luxury cruise scandal that nearly killed him, Evan is trying to turn notoriety into something useful: a respectable investigative business, a carefully managed memoir deal, and a life that no longer feels owned by strangers. Then, at a high-profile launch event, someone places a book in his hands that he did not write.
The title bears his name. The pages speak in a voice meant to sound like his. And buried inside the manuscript are details no outsider should know.
What begins as a counterfeit memoir quickly turns into something far more dangerous. A publishing consultant is murdered. Old witnesses start looking over their shoulders. Powerful people begin moving in the dark. And the forged book reveals itself for what it really is: not a scandal, but bait.
As Evan follows the trail through media handlers, ghostwriters, private archives, and the survivors of a buried conspiracy, he is forced back into the wreckage of the past he was supposed to have escaped. To find the truth, he will have to decide who is using him, who is protecting him, and how much of his life can survive being turned into evidence.
The Book He Didn’t Write is a sharp, atmospheric thriller with queer tension, noir energy, and a dangerously intelligent mystery at its core.
