Editing Eve

Pia Marchetti has edited a thousand novels and she can tell in three pages whether a manuscript is good. The one in the slush pile is not good. It is true. Every murder it describes has happened. Every murder it has not described yet happens next Tuesday. The author will not meet her. The return address is a village that flooded in 1962 and still runs a post office. The edits Pia makes are reflected in the real world, small changes that save small lives — until she realizes she is not the editor of this book. She is the next chapter. Her sister, missing for eight years, appears on page 143. She has been waiting for Pia to write her out. Pia can publish and become the most talked-about editor in New York, or she can close the file and risk losing the only family she has left. An absolutely unputdownable psychological thriller and a cozy fantasy mystery, for readers of The Silent Wife and people who work in publishing.
