Read it and die!

When two holiday makers die of a mysterious condition on holiday in Corfu, neurologist Lauren Manning suspects their deaths may only be the tip of the iceberg.

Finding help in the unlikely form of independent bookshop owner, avant-garde unpublished short story writer and borderline alcoholic Richard Liggett, Lauren’s investigations confirm her fears. The deaths in Corfu are only the beginning, and it soon becomes clear that a dark and terrible force is at work: best-selling author Tony Sayles and his insipid novels. Can Lauren and Richard stop him before millions die?
