Michael Collins
Midnight in a Perfect Life Karl’s only real success as a writer has been as a ghost to the famous crime writer Perry Fennimore – but this time Fennimore wants more from Karl than fiction. Creative genius is the result, but at a cost. Can a man detach himself from the world he inhabits without losing himself along the way?
