My Criminal World by Henry Sutton
In awe of his wife, hounded by his agent and ignored by his editor, mild mannered crime novelist David Slavitt finds his life is spiralling out of control. Living in constant fear that his editor might drop him in favour of the next new talent, David juggles house work and child care alongside plot twists and character development.

"Clever, witty and engaging" -- Marcel Berlins * The Times *
"Hilarious... A double-dealing mystery that screams success" -- Mark Sanderson * Sunday Telegraph *
"The meta-novel for crime fiction lovers, boasting two intertwined mysteries and an unnervingly insightful trip through the mind of a thriller writer: the obsession, the inspiration, the insecurities, and the compulsion to turn every last experience into plot." -- Christopher Brookmyre
