The Last Export
When a small-time ebook formatter in Limerick finds a dead client and a missing manuscript, he realises the file is only the start of it. The book has been passed through a chain of ghostwriters, scammers and self-publishing fixers, each of them hiding something worse than bad prose. As he follows the trail, he finds that someone is using digital publishing as cover for blackmail and murder.
