The Last Draft
When a freelance editor in Limerick is asked to review the final manuscript of a crime novel, she notices the book contains details that match an unsolved local killing. Before she can work out whether it is research, coincidence, or confession, the people connected to the manuscript begin to vanish from her life. The deeper she digs, the more the draft seems to be rewriting events around her.
