Synopsis

In #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Goldberg’s action-packed sequel to the Washington Post bestseller True Fiction, a hapless writer is pitted against an enemy nation mounting a treacherous plot lifted from one of his thrillers.Everybody loves Ian Ludlow’s action novels—especially the CIA—because the spies know something the public doesn’t: his fictional plots have a frightening tendency to come true. Ian is in Hong Kong with his resourceful assistant Margo French to research his wildest story yet—a deadly global conspiracy by Chinese intelligence to topple the United States.What Ian doesn’t know is that his horrifying scenario is happening and that the Chinese mistakenly believe he’s an undercover superspy assigned to foil their scheme. Now Ian is trapped in his own terrifying thriller, on the run from assassins, and racing against time to prevent an epic disaster. He’s written himself into a corner that could cost his life…and his country.

Goodreads review by James on May 12, 2019

I was a big fan of Lee Goldberg's True Fiction, the first novel featuring Ian Ludlow. Ludlow is a novelist who writes thrillers featuring Clint Straker, an action hero on the order of James bond or Jack Reacher. In True Fiction, poor Ludlow was stunned to discover that someone had taken one of his i......more

Clint Striker, freelance for hire is Ian Ludlow's meal ticket. Ludlow has written outrageous terrorist plots for Clint to expose. Strangely these plots tend to come true. Enter the CIA. Wouldn't Ian like to become a world travel researcher for his thriller novels, while also working for the CIA. As......more

Sometimes I am in the mood to read a delicate tale containing profound insight into the human condition. And sometimes I want to read Killer Thriller by Lee Goldberg.

Quotes

“Lee Goldberg has written an action-packed sequel to True Fiction…walk[ing] a fine line between satire and action with exciting and hilarious results. The story reflects current news cycles with the economy and America’s relations with China, and with Goldberg’s talent for telling fun stories, the end result is a blast.” —Associated Press“The pleasure here is watching Goldberg mock the thriller form while creating a first-rate one, boiling with chases, fights, sweaty-palm tension, snappy dialogue, and glamorous, exotic locations—this time, post-Maugham Hong Kong and its stunning outdoor escalators. It’s really a sophisticated exercise in metafiction: commenting on narrative while creating it.” —Booklist“An original and riveting read from cover to cover…Author Lee Goldberg showcases a genuine flair as a novelist for narrative-driven storytelling and [the ability] to create memorable characters that will linger in the mind long after the book itself has been finished and set back upon the shelf.” —Midwest Book Review
