The Ghost Phillip Petersen

'The Ghost' is a ghostwriter who always lets his client be the accredited author, so when one of the biggest crooks in the city offers him $100,000 to write an expose of police corruption in his own name, he is understandably perplexed-even when his would-be client reveals his real motive is to prove his son was murdered rather than dying of an accidental overdose. He is even more bemused when a beautiful young woman appoints herself his 'minder' but turns out to be a neuroleptic cop with an incredible story of money laundering. With the aid of two detectives, two Crime and Corruption Commission investigators, a couple of contacts, a lot of luck, and a bit of ingenuity, he survives murder attempts and attempts by corrupt cops to frame him to eventually unravel the mystery and expose a web of corruption, money laundering and assorted crimes that untangles in mayhem.
