  Synopsis Details Reviews  
Benjamin Malaussene is a downtrodden publisher at Vendetta Press. Treated as a scapegoat by Queen Zabo, the redoubtable doyenne of publishing, he has finally had enough. After one row too many with her, he resigns, only to have Zabo offer him a starring role. All he has to do is impersonate the world's best-loved but hitherto anonymous author, J.L.B.

But things are never simple for Malaussene and his extended family of misfits and chancers. Soon he is in deep, faced with the theft of a manuscript, a frenzied readership, his private life in disarray, and a spate of connected murders that threaten to destroy Vendetta Press.

Write to Kill is the third of four crime novels set in the Belleville quarter of Paris. The Fairy Gunmother and The Scapegoat are also available from Harvill.
