Rules of Desperation

How far would you go to achieve the goal of your dreams?

All Nicholas Burr wants to do is traditionally publish a mystery novel. Sure, he's had some success as a ghostwriter for a young adult series, but that's not the same.

It's not even close.

Camille, his long-suffering wife, has had enough. She's tired of being the breadwinner. Tired of listening to him prattle on about his next project. Tired of... him.
Nicholas Burr is desperate. Should he do something rash? Something unexpected? Something so outrageous it would get everyone's attention?
Yet, if there's one thing he knows, it's that he must follow the rules.
