The Final Chapter
Autor C. B. Everetten Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 mai 2027
A famous author vanished.
His final manuscript has just been found.
And it may be the key to everything.
Ten years after Jonathan Durward disappeared without a trace, his lost novel resurfaces. But instead of the literary masterpiece the world expected, it is a lurid spy thriller: coded, slippery and full of impossible clues.
Asked to annotate the manuscript, Jonathan’s closest friend begins to see something buried beneath the clichés - real people, real events, and a truth someone may still be desperate to hide.
Was Jonathan’s final book a confession? A warning? Or a trap?
Fiendishly clever and brilliantly twisty, The Final Chapter is a gripping mystery about friendship, identity and the stories that refuse to stay buried.
'A metafictional tour de force’ THE GUARDIAN
‘A clever piece of crime-fiction, crime is concealed within this intriguing novel within a novel’ THE TIMES
‘A fiendishly clever thriller with a brilliant sting in the tail. Highly recommended’ CASS GREEN

Recenzii
'Crime writer Martyn Waites's second novel as CB Everett is a metafictional tour de force... Buckle up for a darkly funny mystery about friendship, rivalry, ambition and - wannabe novelists look away now - the more soul-destroying aspects of authorship' THE GUARDIAN
'CB Everett is the pseudonym of the crime writer Martyn Waites. His alter ego is not only the “author” of this startling new novel, but a central protagonist in a literary mystery. Everett’s friend and rival, a novelist called Jonathan Durward, disappeared more than a decade ago when his career was on the slide. There’s a buzz when the manuscript of a new book arrives at his publisher’s office, apparently from Durward, stipulating that it should be published with an introduction and notes by Everett. He begins the task in a straightforward manner, providing explanations of the text, but can’t hide his glee when the novel turns out to be a mediocre spy caper. As Everett’s notes become longer, his seething envy of Durward’s success starts to emerge. A clever piece of crime-fiction, crime is concealed within this intriguing novel within a novel.' THE TIMES
