"Kathryn Lindskoog, of whom C. S. Lewis said that she knows his work better than anyone, has some serious questions for the guardians of the gates of the C. S. Lewis estate. Her careful, meticulous research results in many questions that no one seems to want to answer. Did Lewis write the posthumous book The Dark Tower? Or, was it written by someone connected to the estate? Who owns the C. S. Lewis estate? Is what the estate saying about Lewis true or false?
Finally, the scandal of the Chronicles of Narnia may be the biggest and most misleading of all. Rearranging the order of the books against Lewis's wishes is just a minor part of the problem.".
"Lindskoog answers these and a multitude of other questions regarding the keepers of the keys to one of the most significant estates in literary history. Anyone who reads this book will be enlightened to one of the greatest literary frauds in history. While Lindskoog offers a veritable wall of granite-like evidence she does not set here the final word. The book is but a beacon to join in the quest to discover the truth.
This is a manifesto regarding the integrity and honesty of literary estates in general, and a daring quest to find answers to significant questions regarding the Lewis estate in particular."--BOOK JACKET.
