A Creative Writing class turns ugly as the professor believes that one of the students is not writing a story but confessing to a crime.  Isn't writing a story supposed to suck the reader in?  That's what Stephen Leather's writing does to me.  I read his novella 'The Basement' first where he actually outlines his storyline for 'The Bestseller', and since I loved the twisted-ness of The Basement, I knew that I would enjoy this book. While the police characters are a bit stereotypical (read ignorant) and I'm not convinced that the killer was found, it was still a very enjoyable book and I plan to read many more of Mr. Leather's books.
