Writing Game

It started as fun. It ended in murder. When Frank Ellison finds an abandoned rucksack on a park bench in Barnes, he does the decent thing: he sets out to deliver the letters inside to their rightful owners. Days later, he is found murdered in his own home. Each letter contains just two things - a literary quotation and a chilling two-word message: Say nothing. DI Garibaldi discovers that the recipients all belonged to the same creative writing class and that the quotations all point to a game they played in their final session. As he delves into the group s old rivalries and buried secrets, one thing becomes clear: every member of that writing class is hiding something behind their carefully chosen words. Then the threats begin. Then the violence. What started as a harmless exercise has become a killer s opening chapter and anyone in the class could be next.
