For Robert Pendleton, a professor clinging to tenure and living in the shambles of his oncebright literary career, death seems to be the only remaining option. But his suicide attempt fails, halted at the last moment by the intervention of Adi Wiltshire, a graduate student battling her own demons of failure and thwarted ambition. During Pendleton's long convalescence, Adi discovers a novel hidden in his basement: a brilliant, semiautobiographical story with a gruesome childmurder at its core.The publication of Scream causes a storm of publicity: a whirlwind into which Adi, Horowitz and the stillincapacitated Pendleton are thrust. The novel is treated as an existential masterpiece and looks set to bring its author the success he's always sought when, ironically, he is no longer in a condition to appreciate it until questions begin to be asked about its content: in particular about the uncanny resemblance between Pendleton's fictional crime and a reallife, unresolved local murder. Enter Jon Ryder, a worldweary detective who could have walked off the pages of a police thriller, and the hunt for the murderer is on.
