Jean Hanff Korelitz "The plot - a surefire story": About the book
Cover "The Plot" Jean Hanff Korelitz © Heyne Verlag
The reader experiences first-hand the consequences from the point of view of author Jake Finch Bonner, who feels "committed" to writing a manuscript whose intellectual property belongs to someone else.
Jake Finch Bonner was once celebrated as an author in New York.
But it's been years since his big break and he now teaches creative writing at a small college in the provinces.
When one of his former students dies before completing his first novel, Jake takes on its perfect story.
The book becomes an overnight bestseller.
Then suddenly Jake receives an anonymous e-mail containing only one sentence: "You are a thief".
With each new piece of news, the threats become more strident, and what was just a matter of honor and career soon becomes a life-threatening game of cat and mouse.
