Jacob used to be a young respectable novelist, but now he is teaching in a MFA program and hasn't published a thing in years. When an arrogant student, Evan, dismisses Jacob's help because he has a masterful plot Jake is getting ready topple the boastful beginner, but when he hears the plot things change.
Jake refocuses on his dwindling career and prepares for the publication of Evan's first book, but it doesn't come. Later he discovers he died without finishing the book so Jake begins a journey to write a story that must be told. At the height of his success in telling the story he receives an anonymous email saying he is a thief. This spurs Jake into action, investigation, and understanding about his former student and how he knew that his novel was a "sure thing." The answers he finds are both terrifying and amazing.
This sounds like a really fascinating and exciting book that I would definitely love to read! I like the cover and think it conveys the gravity of the story that ties this book together.
