Description
A few years ago, David Alvarez had it all: a six-figure book deal, a loving boyfriend, and an exciting writing career. His debut novel was a resounding success, which made the publication of his second book—a total flop—all the more devastating. Now, David is single, lonely, and desperately trying to come up with the next great idea for his third manuscript, one that will redeem him in the eyes of readers, reviewers, the entire publishing world…and maybe even his ex-boyfriend.
But good ideas are hard to come by, and the mounting pressure of a near-empty bank account isn’t helping. When David connects with a sexy stranger on a dating app, he figures a wild night out in New York City may be just what he needs to find inspiration. Lucky for him, his date turns out to be handsome, confident, and wealthy, not to mention the perfect distraction from yet another evening staring at a blank screen.
After one of the best nights of his life, David wakes up hungover but giddy—only to find prince charming dead next to him in bed. Horrified, completely confused, and suddenly faced with the implausible-but-somehow-plausible idea that he may have actually killed his date, David calls the only person he can trust in a moment of crisis: his literary agent, Stacey.
Together, David and Stacey must untangle the events of the previous night, cover their tracks, and spin the entire misadventure into David’s career-defining novel—if only they can figure out what to do with the body first.
Advance Praise
"Aleman's premise hooked me and oh my goodness, did he deliver! Prepare to gasp out loud, cringe, cackle, and cry.... But, hilarious hijinks aside, at its heart, this is a book that isn't afraid to dive deep into heart wrenching isolation and the anxiety that comes with trying to figure out how to get your shit together."
–Jesse Q. Sutanto, bestselling author of Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers
"Exciting. Humorous. Heartbreaking. Unputdownable!"
–Helene Tursten, bestselling author of An Elderly Lady Is Up to No Good
"Funny, relatable, and utterly bonkers.... Come for the deadly hijinks, stay for the 'if I don’t laugh, I’ll cry' look at what it’s like to work in publishing."
–Mia P. Manansala, author of the Agatha, Anthony, and Macavity Award-winning Arsenic and Adobo
“I devoured this wickedly funny, pulse-quickening, enthralling dark comedy. Aleman has a master storyteller’s hand.”
–Jeff Zentner, award-winning author of Colton Gentry’s Third Act
"A genre-busting rollercoaster ride . . . Darkly comic and painfully relatable, the novel also offers thoughtful reflections on the emotional cost of sudden success, and the anxiety of losing sight of who you once were outside of your accomplishments."
–Caitlin Barasch, author of A Novel Obsession
“I Might Be Trouble is as a much a page-turning thriller as it is a comedic, big-hearted, exploration of love, loneliness, and the way writing can save us. Daniel Aleman’s meta winks at gay life in New York City are fresh and poignant, but the novel’s outlandishly delicious plot kept me pinned to every page.”
–John Glynn, author of Out East
