Words Can Kill, by George W. Clever, is a thriller/mystery novel with a story within a story.
Staring at the computer screen Fred knew he had a writer's block in his story about P.I. Mike Dunmore. Maybe a search for a writer prompt would help. Fred found a prompt on the web with this warning. "If you click this icon you will never stop writing." Maybe "never stop writing" would help him finish his novel. He clicked it with his computer mouse. Fred was up to the challenge until his Butterfly or Brain Fart thoughts began to appear on the computer screen and become part of his life. One of his thoughts on the screen spelled out how his wife must die.
Private Investigator Mike Dunmore watched his aging classic 1969 Dodge Charger burn as it explodes in the parking lot of Dinky's Bar and Grill. Did someone torch the car or was it an accident? When cops showed up at his apartment door the next morning Mike's car fire was not the most important problem he had to solve. He is a person of interest in a murder. Police impound found the charred body of a woman in his car trunk, a woman who was his latest client, a woman connected to the smuggling of children to the United States from Mexico
