Millennial author Jude is lost in obscurity until he's saved by an award bequeathed by Alberto Valdez, the highly controversial surrealist Spanish author who first inspired him to write. But given Valdez s unsolved disappearance, the motives behind his giving Jude the award are a mystery. Jude soon learns that there is more to the award than he'd first realised, and it requires him to complete Valdez s final masterpiece. But why was he chosen? And can one person ever really know another - let alone complete their work? You Complete the Masterpiece is part jet-setting thriller, part literary puzzle, and part indictment of corruption in the #MeToo era.
