A reclusive, mega-best-selling author is found dead at his private library. The only people present are the five "ghostwriters" who actually wrote his last decade of books under his name, gathered for their annual royalty payout.
Indiana Whitlock writes at the intersection of mystery and philosophy, crafting stories that explore how we become who we are-and whether we can become something better. With a background in architecture and a fascination with the spaces between certainty and doubt, Whitlock creates narratives that challenge readers to look beneath the surface of expertise, ambition, and identity. The Unmaking is Whitlock's debut novel, born from years of contemplating a simple question: What does it cost to be excellent at one thing while remaining blind to everything else?
