Slade Harris will do anything for a story, including murdering the woman he loves. 

Slade doesn't think twice about jumping out of a plane or conducting disastrous love affairs to gather material for his work, but his self-indulgent life is catching up with him. Stumbling through his late thirties hopeless and a little drunk, Slade has a dazzling, dangerous idea that will change his life forever. It's going to be Slade's ultimate story, and all he's hoping for is to survive it.
