A plagiarism accusation turns personal

Professor Karla Dobbs’s literary success is disrupted when former student Natalie Silva accuses her of basing a novel on a real tragedy and demands that its film adaptation be stopped. As lockdown begins, questions about the story’s origins bring threats, public scrutiny, and people connected to the tragedy into Karla’s life. The online mentorship program she launches to stay afloat introduces another uncertainty: submissions from an anonymous writer called The Proteg. The setup brings together questions of authorship and accountability with the pressures of public exposure, framed as psychological suspense.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in psychological thrillers about plagiarism and disputed authorship.
  • Readers drawn to fiction involving literary success, public scrutiny, and a film adaptation.
  • Readers who enjoy stories that connect online mentorship with an anonymous writer.

Book overview

The book was fiction. The pain was real. The consequences are deadly.

 

Professor Karla Dobbs has everything: literary acclaim, a bestselling novel, and a film adaptation on the horizon. Until a former student accuses her of plagiarism.

 

Natalie Silva claims that the novel in question is based on a real tragedy and insists that the film be stopped, or there will be consequences. Certain that she has done nothing wrong, Karla dismisses her. At first.

 

But as the world slips into lockdown, the truth begins to unravel, and the people behind the real story emerge demanding answers. Threats and public scrutiny follow. And then come the submissions.

 

Through a desperate attempt to stay afloat, her online mentorship program, Karla receives work from an anonymous writer known only as The Proteg
