A crime writer finds himself entangled in his own gruesome mystery in this fast-paced psychological thriller

Drew Danner, a crime novelist with a house off L.A.'s storied Mulholland Drive, awakens in a hospital bed with a scar on his head and no memory of being found convulsing over his ex-fiancée's body the previous night. He was discovered holding a knife, her blood beneath his nails. He himself doesn't know whether he's guilty or innocent. To reconstruct the story, the writer must now become the protagonist, searching the corridors of his life and the city he loves.

Soon Drew closes in on clues he may or may not have left for himself, and as another young woman is similarly murdered he has to ask difficult questions not of others but of himself. Beautifully crafted and heartbreakingly told, The Crime Writer confronts our inherent fear of what we might truly be capable of good or evil. Like nothing he's written before, The Crime Writer takes Hurwitz in an exciting new direction and is sure to reach a whole new audience.

Media reviews

'Hurwitz's carefully interwoven plot lines and taut writing as well as his pulsing descriptions of Los Angeles make for a deeply satisfying read, and the ending, revealed with masterful simplicity, shows the complex desires that make each of us capable of murder. A performance worthy of applause.'
Kirkus (Starred Review)

'Hurwitz's insights about L.A. life sound knowing and are often ruefully funny, e.g., L.A., where a porn star runs for governor and an action figure wins.' Crime fans looking for something different will love this one.'
Booklist

'With The Crime Writer, Gregg Hurwitz has taken a quantum leap forward in the realm of American suspense literature. A thrilling, mind-bending journey, it is also deeply human and beautifully written. You'll turn the final page with profound regret.'
Dennis Lehane

'The Crime Writer is the must read crime novel of the year. Brilliantly rendered with a hip intelligence and fierce originality, this book is a stunner. Gregg Hurwitz may well have created a brand-name franchise and deservedly so.'
Robert Crais

'It'd be so simple to say that THE CRIME WRITER toys and pokes and jabs with the genre. And of course it does. But by merging author and hero, Hurwitz sharpens a brand-new edge in his voice. An elegant, engaging, and wonderfully human book.'
Brad Meltzer
