A book within a book.
In my forthcoming novel, we find a maleficent mystery surrounding a children’s book called Find Frank. An investigative reporter tries to unearth the truth behind its sinister pages while getting to the bottom of a year-long goose chase to find the source of a new and deadly street drug.

The first pages of the children’s book contain the following rhyme:
Meet Frank.
Where will he go? Nobody knows.
Over hill and rock and lake
Through desert and snow, and rivers that flow
Red as a coral snake.
He’s a fellow who might, take a trip at night
Or wander all day in the dale.
Try to catch sight of our adventurous sprite
As you follow him down the trail.
Sounds innocent enough, right? That’s what they want you to think…
