Just read this headline on the ABC news site
Ok there were extenuating circumstnces, like the victim having an affair with his wife...but talk about taking things to extreme's to write a good book (let's hope it was) guess he'll be doing a lot more writing from jail......
Hope this doesn't mean all Crime writers are now under suspicion......makes me look on Orble angst in a whole different light too.......
This story disturbs me on several levels: If he is innocent then this is CRAZY...imagine if he did it what was going through his head at the book launch etc.....crazy
HERE's THE LINK...dont know whether to laugh or cry about this one
Another link to STORY BACKGROUND

Truth stranger than fiction as Polish author jailed
Posted Thu Sep 6, 2007 0:25am AEST
Polish author Krystian Bala has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for the murder of a businessman after he published a novel which contained details of a similar killing.
The body of the businessman was found near the Polish city of Wroclaw seven years ago.
Prosecutors say Bala had humiliated, tortured, starved and later killed his victim, who had a love affair with the writer's wife.
Bala told authorities that he had taken details of the case from press reports and made up other aspects of the story.
