Bestseller by Jim Ford

One night Quentin Quirke, the most famous writer on the planet, steps out the back door of a bookstore in a tiny desert town and disappears. He’s been kidnapped by thuggish tow truck driver, Kelvin Boone, who has written a gruesome novel and hatched a desperate plan to force the horror author to rewrite the book and turn it into a blockbuster.
Quirke, famously prolific, has hit a dry patch and when he reads Boone’s crude manuscript he realizes that he is looking at his next bestseller, if only he can escape the murderous maniac who has him locked in a shed in the desert.
