The Plot by Jean Hanff Korelitz

With the success of his first novel far behind, Jake Bonner is toiling away, teaching in a third-rate MFA program and suffering from writer’s block. When he meets the arrogant student Evan Parker, who reluctantly reveals the plot of his novel, they both know it’s a winner. Evan dies before completing the book, and Jake steals his story, becoming rich and famous. But someone knows of his theft, and threatens to tell in this gripping page turner with a shock ending.
