Everyone Loved This Book. Then an Algorithm Didn't.
Jerry Falade’s crime novel won a 14-way auction for over $2 million. Then an AI detector read it.
Call Me, I’ll Hide the Body attracted bids from fourteen publishers. Minotaur, Macmillan’s crime imprint, won. Film rights were in play. By any measure, this was an excellent story. Then AI detection tools flagged “fingerprints,” Falade’s agent lost faith, and the deal collapsed.
