He's the man behind your favourite pulpy barbarians-in-space novels and vampire romances. Though he's not a bestselling success, he's eked out a living as a freelancer, living in Queens in his late mother's apartment. Until now. Dollar signs start dancing in his head when he comes to the attention of Darian Clay, the imprisoned serial killer who tortured and beheaded four women in New York City.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHaving exclusive access to Clay's story—just before his execution date—would give Bloch's career the lift he's been waiting for.
