From the publisher:
"From the bestselling author of The Dogs of Babel comes a dazzling literary mystery about the lengths to which some people will go to rewrite their past.
Bestselling novelist Octavia Frost has just completed her latest book—a revolutionary novel in which she has rewritten the last chapters of all her previous books, removing clues about her personal life concealed within, especially a horrific tragedy that befell her family years ago.
On her way to deliver the manuscript to her editor, Octavia reads a news crawl in Times Square and learns that her rock-star son, Milo, has been arrested for murder. Though she and Milo haven’t spoken in years—an estrangement stemming from that tragic day—she drops everything to go to him.
The “last chapters” of Octavia’s novel are layered throughout The Nobodies Album—the scattered puzzle pieces to her and Milo’s dark and troubled past. Did she drive her son to murder? Did Milo murder anyone at all? And what exactly happened all those years ago? As the novel builds to a stunning reveal, Octavia must consider how this story will come to a close.
Universally praised for her candid explorations of the human psyche, Parkhurst delivers an emotionally gripping and resonant mystery about a mother and her son, and about the possibility that one can never truly know another person."
Read an excerpt of The Nobodies Album. A book club reader's guide is also available.

don't bother entering. You'll never get your prize. I was the winner of the Drood book way back in February. She told me she didn't have the book. Would I like a replacement book. Sure I said. She gave me a list to pick from. Replacement book never came. Emailed her. She said she didn't have any more books. Would I like a book on DVD. Sure I said. THAT never came. Emailed her once per week and she never responded but she still has her blog and updates regularly. That was a year ago.
I finally told her in my last email: "Just tell me you're not going to send the book."
I mean, I can handle that but to keep on promising and then never delivering. Liar liar pants on fire.
