¿It's the perfect plot. All it needs is a killer ending.¿
Six authors. One private island. Seventy-two hours to write the ending.
World-famous author Arthur Fletch is dead. His final novel, the most anticipated book in history, remains unfinished. But the ending won't write itself.
When six struggling authors are invited to Fletch's private Scottish island and presented with the opportunity of a lifetime, the plot thickens: whoever writes a worthy ending will receive a game-changing book deal and two million dollars.
Why have they been chosen to attend? Who is behind the invitation? And just how far would they go to secure a place on the bestseller list?
They have just seventy-two hours, a typewriter and a blank page. All they have to do is write...
Starting is often the hardest part. But getting to the end could be murder.

Person
It was a dark and stormy night (well, it was actually an unusually warm evening in Edinburgh, Scotland) when Number One Sunday Times bestselling author V.E. Schwab, known for The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil, proposed an absurd idea to longtime friend and screenwriter Cat Clarke: that they should write a book together. Victoria had made quite a name for herself, but had sworn she'd never co-write a novel.
While Cat, following a tumultuous career as an editor and the author of several YA novels, including Girlhoodand Entangled, had fled the publishing industry to work in the even more tumultuous film industry, swearing she'd never return to books.
And yet, fate - and an irresistible idea - made liars of them both.
That night, Evelyn Clarke was born.
