Young Alex Plumtree became the toast of the British book world when a hit novel saved his family publishing firm from bankruptcy. Unfortunately, the sequel upon which Plumtree Books has been banking is unfinished, and its mysterious author - known only as "Arthur" - has disappeared. While he scrambles to stave off his creditors and assure the public that the book is coming, Alex has some unfortunate "accidents" that seem more like death threats - particularly after the murder of a prominent reviewer who read the early chapters. When Alex realizes that Arthur's novel about kidnapped WWII war orphans is more fact than fiction, he has to search London and the American East Coast to find his would-be assassin and his missing author before he and his firm face a very untimely demise.

From the Back Cover:
FROM BESTSELLER TO DEATH-DEALER

London's Plumtree Press has a world-class bestseller of a novel. And the sequel is earmarked to get this old family firm out of the red. But its anonymous author, known to Plumtree only as "Arthur", has apparently vanished, leaving the crucial last five chapters undelivered. Alex already knows they reveal the identity of the characters who smuggled British children to America during World War II. But, of course, this is fiction. So when a lead critic previews the book as a nonfiction expose, Alex is shocked. Even more so when the critic is murdered...and Alex finds himself the target of a ruthless hunt for the manuscript and bizarre attempts on his life. Ducking newshounds, government officials, and the sniping of jealous publishers, Alex knows only one thing: If he can't find Arthur and untangle the truth, his next season's list may be a posthumous one.
