Unsolicited - Hardcover

Young Alex Plumtree became the toast of the British book world when a hit novel saved his family publishing firm from bankruptcy. Unfortunately, the sequel upon which Plumtree Books has been banking is unfinished, and its mysterious author - known only as "Arthur" - has disappeared. While he scrambles to stave off his creditors and assure the public that the book is coming, Alex has some unfortunate "accidents" that seem more like death threats - particularly after the murder of a prominent reviewer who read the early chapters. When Alex realizes that Arthur's novel about kidnapped WWII war orphans is more fact than fiction, he has to search London and the American East Coast to find his would-be assassin and his missing author before he and his firm face a very untimely demise.
