At Timmins & Ross publishing house Samantha Clair knows she can rely on her star author Breda McManus to deliver a nice fat slab of a manuscript that will sell to the masses and pay her salary. But when Breda's latest endeavour is a complete catastrophe, it turns out to be only the first of Sam's problems. When Sam decides to publish fashion journalist Kit Lovell's tell-all book on the death of Rodrigo Aleman, a designer at the prestigious Vernet fashion house, little does she know the dangerous trouble it will cause. Before it even goes to print. A series of unrelated and disastrous events suddenly start to make sense as Sam's nine-to-five life is turned upside down and propelled into a criminal investigation. Somebody out there doesn't want Kit's scandalous manuscript published and they'll do anything to stop it.

Review:

"I had no idea that the publishing world could be so funny--and so dangerous. WRITER'S BLOCK reminds me of the comic crime novels of Donald E. Westlake, with its own humorous, deadly edge. Judith Flanders has created one of the most engaging main characters I've encountered in quite a while. Indeed, even the minor characters are memorable. I chuckled while I feared for their safety, and hope to meet them in another novel." David Morrell, bestselling author of Murder as a Fine Art 'Mordantly funny' Philip Kerr 'This witty crime caper [ - ] is a delight from first page to last' Natasha Cooper
