About

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 LA'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 is guilty or innocent. To reconstruct the facts, the writer must now become the protagonist, searching the corridors of his life and of 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.

Reviews

"The Crime Writer unfolds like a modern film noir…Hurwitz is a tight and quick moving writer. He is at his best while describing Drew's Los Angeles, with all its gaudiness and hype."
Pittsburgh Post
"Hurwitz's carefully interwoven plotlines 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."
