Revenge Plot

Arnie Tenderton has spent years trying to become a published author, and he believes he has finally written the perfect novel. The agent he wants, Claudia Conley, has turned him down before. This time he won't accept a no, because his book is about her, and he isn't leaving until the story ends the way he wants.

The setting is close and claustrophobic: Arnie ends up snowed in with Claudia, a well-known literary agent, at her isolated Airbnb over Christmas. The book is organized around the courses of a Christmas dinner. It starts as a cat-and-mouse game and grows into a story about ambition, power, and grief.

"In Revenge Plot, an eager author finds himself snowed in with a famous literary agent at her remote Airbnb-an opportunity that will lead to dangers far more disturbing than either could've imagined. Wrobel's taut, unnerving thriller explores the lengths creatives will go to reveal-or conceal-their truths. With its crackling tension, gasp-out-loud twists, and brilliant depictions of the line between passion and insanity, I couldn't put this book down. Revenge Plot is an instant classic."-Julia Bartz, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Session

"An elegantly deceptive Mobius strip of a thriller, Revenge Plot is two books in one, weaving in and around each other through a dazzling series of cunning, perfectly executed twists. By the time readers reach the final page, they'll wonder whether they've truly arrived at the end-or been unwittingly returned to the beginning. It's been a long time since a thriller left me this delightfully disoriented."-Tom Ryan, USA Today bestselling author of The Treasure Hunters Club

"Cleverly structured around the courses of Christmas dinner, Wrobel's novel begins as a straightforward cat-and-mouse game and blossoms into an insightful, sometimes poignant story about ambition, power, and grief. Publishing insiders will appreciate the morbid take on the industry, while general readers will relish Wrobel's gift for creating tension-especially when the contents of Arnie's manuscript are revealed. This is the author's best yet."-Publishers Weekly (starred review)
