Blood & Ink
Description of the book
US exchange student Hieronymus Beck is Professor Jack Griffen's biggest fan. Why else would he inveigle himself into the English Literature course that Jack is running; or devote so much time to chatting with Jack after hours about the anatomy of crime fiction, the roles of heroes and villains, and his favourite true-crime book of all time, IN COLD BLOOD? But everything changes when Jack Griffen picks up a list of five templates for murder that has been written by Beck. This mild-mannered professor, who has never incurred anything more than a parking fine suddenly finds himself in a deadly race to protect those he loves, as he is plunged into Hiero's crime-writer fantasy and the darkness of his student's heart.
