How far would you go to erase a rival’s success? Set against the vibrant, gossipy backdrop of the 1970s Sydney arts and writing community, Colin Free’s brilliant satire weaves a dark, psychological game of cat-and-mouse. The story follows a bitter, vengeful Sydney poet who, consumed by professional jealousy and perceived slights, orchestrates an elaborate and malicious scheme to utterly destroy a fellow writer. Through a meticulous web of forged letters, fabricated plagiarism claims, and calculated lies, the antagonist crafts a "carbon copy" of deception designed for total reputational ruin. Blending sharp dark humor with a tightly wound literary whodunit, this gripping Australian mystery exposes the razor-sharp claws hiding beneath the polite veneer of the literary elite.
