凱爾(Kyle Brooder)畢生的夢想就在一家大出版社擔任編輯,他不僅夢想成真,而他授權的作品更獲好萊塢以高額買下電影版權,又獲《紐約時報》給予高度評價。

當他大學時期最喜歡的教授威廉(William Lansing)與他聯絡時,他很高興,邀請教授共進晚餐,席間介紹他的女朋友潔米(Jamie)給教授認識,三人共渡一個美好的晚上。當威廉提到他寫了一本小說,凱爾聽了很高興,並請教授把書稿寄給他拜讀。

凱爾收到書稿後仔細閱讀,發現不僅文筆不佳,更是凱爾讀過最邪惡、最病態的故事。

凱爾委婉地拒絕了威廉,自此,威廉變得糾纒不休,並在凱爾和潔米之間製造麻煩,威脅著凱爾的事業,甚至他的生命。當凱爾再深入研究這位精神病患者的文稿時,發現好像是多年前發生在大學城裡的一宗懸案──當年有一名狂野的女生失蹤了。然而,威廉的文稿簡直像是一部真實的犯罪自白。

《The Mentor》是一部曲折、扣人心弦的驚悚故事,展述愛能帶來致命的迷戀。

● 媒體報導

“A dark, whirling, and gripping book, The Mentor pulls you in from the very first page. Goldberg is a masterful storyteller and this tale of jealousy and ambition is one that will stay with you long after you're done.”──Jennifer Close, New York Times bestselling author of Girls in White Dresses and The Smart One

“A dark, mysterious and sexy page-turner―The Mentor has it all. Never before have a professor and his newly successful protégée clashed in such a twisted and macabre manner. A compulsive read –you won't be able to put this one down.” ──Margot Berwin, author, Hothouse Flower and the Nine Plants of Desire, and Scent of Darkness

“The Mentor unfolds like an addictive voyeuristic experience. The conflict draws you in and keeps you riveted until the last page. Goldberg spins a powerful premise into a masterful literary thriller that has the feel of a breakout novel.”──Michael Soussan, author of Backstabbing for Beginners, the film version starring Ben Kingsley and Theo James

“Another title for Lee Matthew Goldberg's newest literary thriller, The Mentor, could be 'Writer Beware.' Hitchcock himself couldn't concoct a more insidious story. Goldberg has created a riveting, funny, contemporary novel that deserves the description, page turner.”──Vincent Zandri, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Remains and When Shadows Come
