This is from infoniac: Crime Story Writer - a Cruel Killer? A Polish writer has been accused of a murder - he wrote a crime story, having precisely described the facts of a real-life murder.
According to investigators, travel writer, journalist and author Krystian Bala, aged 33, sent them his bestseller novel Amok that provided a detailed murder account in an attempt to draw attention to it. It raised strong suspicion of the police as the writer's account turned out to be amazingly close to the murder of a man who, in December 2000, was found dead near a weir on the Oder river. The matter was aggravated by the fact that the killed man, Dariusz J, happened to be a friend of the writer's ex-wife. I have been meaning to tell about this book for some time now. Havent read it though. Here is the rest of the article. www.infoniac.com/offbeat-news/crime-story-writer-for-similar-murder.html
