1ADVANCED READER COPY NOT FOR SALE A writer's competition? That's right. Twelve authors from around the country gather in St. Petersburgh, Florida to compete with each other in a collaborative novel. Each tries to submit the best composition of the day to earn points toward the overall championship and cash prizes. The collective mystery plot develops each day climaxing on the final day with the winner announced and prizes awarded. That is until the final speaker at the awards ceremony turns the entire competition upside down, not once but twice.
