Résumé
-
Ce qui suit dévoile des moments clés de l’intrigue.
Graham Dorn, auteur de romans policiers, décide de ne plus poursuivre l'écriture de sa série phare mettant en scène les enquêtes de Reginald de Meister.
N'ayant cure des réprimandes de sa compagne et de son éditeur, il devra faire face à l'apparition de son personnage dans le monde réel, qui le pressera de continuer la série en plus de lui voler sa compagne.
Finalement Graham Dorn parviendra à se débarrasser de l'importun en remaniant le manuscrit du dernier de ses romans non encore publié.
