Mixed in deep despair and on the verge of suicide, writer Genesis Hawke seeks to free his creative muse by using a newspaper advertisement to lure an at-large serial killer into giving his life story. But nothing is quite what it seems as Hawke soon discovers he is dealing with much more than the ego of a maniacal murderer.

This book has been sitting on the pile in the corner that came from somewhere I've completely forgotten about - and it's been on that pile for quite a few years now. So I thought I should pick it up and "get on with it".
Probably shouldn't have bothered. Definitely not my style - trying too hard to be arch and sort of funny, with a plot that simply didn't work on any level and to be honest, when I got to "he said satanically" very nearly became a DNF. Really only got to the end out of sheer bloodymindedness on my part.
