Kyle has his mentor over for dinner to catch up and introduce him to his girlfriend, Jamie, and the three have a great time. When William mentions that he's been writing a novel, Kyle is overjoyed. He would love to read the opus his mentor has toiled over.</p><p>Until the novel turns out to be not only horribly written, but the most depraved story Kyle has read.</p><p>After Kyle politely rejects the novel, William becomes obsessed, causing trouble between Kyle and Jamie, threatening Kyle's career, and even his life. As Kyle delves into more of this psychopath's work, it begins to resemble a cold case from his college town, when a girl went missing. William's work is looking increasingly like a true crime confession.</p><p>Lee Matthew Goldberg's<i> The Mentor</i> is a twisty, nail-biting thriller that explores how the love of words can lead to a deadly obsession with the fate of all those connected and hanging in the balance.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"(A) compelling plot" --<i>Booklist</i></p><p>"A dark, whirling, and gripping book, <i>The Mentor </i>pulls you in from the very first page.
