I Might Be in Trouble

　　一個失意作家醒來後，卻發現自己可能殺了人⋯⋯

　　大衛．艾法瑞斯手中曾經擁有過全世界：六位數的出版合約、一個愛他的男友以及令人感到興奮無比的寫作生涯，他的處女作取得了空前絕後的成功。然而沒有對比沒有傷害，他的第二本作品銷售落入谷底，讓他陷入了徹底的絕望。如今的他，單身、孤獨，拼命地想為自己的第三部作品想出好點子來，這個點子必須好到讓所有讀者和整個出版界都把焦點拉回他身上，包括他的前男友。

　　可是靈感哪有那麼容易現身，即便銀行戶頭即將空空如也，也無濟於事。於是，當大衛在交友軟體上遇見一個性感的陌生人時，他心想或許在紐約度過一個瘋狂的夜晚，會對於尋找靈感有所幫助。幸運的是，這個約會對象果然帥氣性感又有錢。度過了完美的一晚，大衛帶著頭痛欲裂的宿醉轉醒，卻發現前一晚的那個白馬王子，竟然變成一具冷冰冰的屍體！他嚇瘋了，又同時很困惑，漸漸地，他腦中浮現出一個難以置信但似乎又非常合理的想法：自己可能殺了昨晚的約會對象。關鍵時刻，他只能打給唯一信任的人：經紀人史黛西。他們必須釐清那天晚上到底發生了什麼事、趕緊滅證，還要把這一切荒唐的遭遇都寫進大衛的新小說。現在他們只有一個問題，要怎麼處理屍體？(文／博客來外文館)

A suspenseful dark comedy about a struggling writer who wakes up to find his date from the night before dead--and must then decide how far he’s willing to go to spin the misadventure into his next big book.

A few years ago, David Alvarez had it all: a six-figure book deal, a loving boyfriend, and an exciting writing career. His debut novel was a resounding success, which made the publication of his second book--a total flop--all the more devastating. Now, David is single, lonely, and desperately trying to come up with the next great idea for his third manuscript, one that will redeem him in the eyes of readers, reviewers, the entire publishing world...and maybe even his ex-boyfriend.

But good ideas are hard to come by, and the mounting pressure of a near-empty bank account isn’t helping. When David connects with a sexy stranger on a dating app, he figures a wild night out in New York City may be just what he needs to find inspiration. Lucky for him, his date turns out to be handsome, confident, and wealthy, not to mention the perfect distraction from yet another evening staring at a blank screen.

After one of the best nights of his life, David wakes up hungover but giddy--only to find prince charming dead next to him in bed. Horrified, completely confused, and suddenly faced with the implausible-but-somehow-plausible idea that he may have actually killed his date, David calls the only person he can trust in a moment of crisis: his literary agent, Stacey.

Together, David and Stacey must untangle the events of the previous night, cover their tracks, and spin the entire misadventure into David’s career-defining novel--if only they can figure out what to do with the body first.
