Synopsis
The plot of The Man Who Wrote Murder centers on an author who is in the process of writing a thriller. In his play, a man's wife enters the room and suddenly falls down dead. As the author reaches this point in his writing, the same scenario tragically unfolds with his own wife. The play then follows the unfolding mystery as the author attempts to prove his innocence, despite all the clues pointing towards his guilt.
