But the most depraved story Kyle has read.

After Kyle politely rejects the novel…

William becomes obsessed, causing trouble between Kyle and Jamie, threatening Kyle’s career, and even his life.

As Kyle delves into more of this psychopath’s work, it begins to resemble a cold case from his college town, when a girl went missing.

William’s work is looking increasingly like a true crime confession.

Lee Matthew Goldberg's The Mentor is a twisty, nail-biting thriller that explores how the love of words can lead to a deadly obsession with the fate of all those connected and hanging in the balance.
