The Last Draft

After finishing her final crime novel—a scathing indictment of police brutality and qualified immunity—reclusive author Isobel Ashcroft discovers the story's victim, a woman named Maeve Callan, standing in her living room. Maeve is not a hallucination; she is a living echo from the page, and she brings a terrifying warning: Isobel's fictional verdict is unspooling into reality, but with a far bleaker ending. To save the real woman who now shares Maeve's face and fate, Isobel must re-enter the wreckage of her own imagination and rewrite the narrative before the law's corruption buries the truth—and them both.
