I Might Be in Trouble

"Hilarious, suspense-filled."—Entertainment Weekly

"Aleman’s adult debut is both riotously funny and deeply touching. While David struggles to extricate himself from his impossible situation, his quest to combat loneliness and imposter syndrome is always hiding in the background. Readers will root for David throughout the book."—Booklist, Starred Review

"[Daniel Aleman] makes a memorable move to adult fiction with this zany black comedy. . . [T]his laugh out loud suspense tale promises good things from Aleman to come."

"Things get crazier and campier by the minute... Aleman could be a writer to watch."—Kirkus Reviews

“I Might Be in Trouble is a biting satire about the publishing world and an undeniable adventure from start to finish.”—Chicago Review of Books

"A killer premise coupled with mordant humor and a corpse that has more outfit changes in a day than I do. Aleman delivers everything you could look for in a book, and more. I'm still smiling."—Steven Rowley, New York Times bestselling author of The Celebrants

"Aleman's premise hooked me and oh my goodness, did he deliver! Prepare to gasp out loud, cringe, cackle, and cry alongside David as he and his unflappable agent carry a corpse around Manhattan. But, hilarious hijinks aside, at its heart, this is a book that isn't afraid to dive deep into heart wrenching isolation and the anxiety that comes with trying to figure out how to get your shit together." —Jesse Q. Sutanto, bestselling author of Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers

"Exciting. Humorous. Heartbreaking. Unputdownable!"—Helene Tursten, bestselling author of An Elderly Lady Is Up to No Good

"Funny, relatable, and utterly bonkers, I Might Be in Trouble is an anxiety-ridden thrill ride that I couldn’t put down. David Alvarez is one of those heartbreakingly vulnerable characters that you want to shake one moment, and wrap in a blanket to keep safe from harm the next. Come for the deadly hijinks, stay for the 'if I don’t laugh, I’ll cry' look at what it’s like to work in publishing."—Mia P. Manansala, author of the Agatha, Anthony, and Macavity Award-winning Arsenic and Adobo

“If possible, get a friend to help you turn the pages of this book, because you’ll be gripping it with white knuckles. I devoured this wickedly funny, pulse-quickening, enthralling dark comedy. Aleman has a master storyteller’s hand.”—Jeff Zentner, award-winning author of Colton Gentry’s Third Act

“I gulped this book down in a single sitting. I Might Be In Trouble has everything I’m looking for in fiction: crackling dialogue, hilarious antics, and dead bodies at the Plaza. In the midst of it all, Daniel Aleman weaves together a compelling and wise story about what happens when our dreams elude us, and the power of art to help us find ourselves again.”—Grant Ginder, author of The People We Hate at the Wedding and Let's Not Do That Again

"A genre-busting rollercoaster ride . . . Darkly comic and painfully relatable, the novel also offers thoughtful reflections on the emotional cost of sudden success, and the anxiety of losing sight of who you once were outside of your accomplishments."—Caitlin Barasch, author of A Novel Obsession

“I Might Be Trouble is as much a page-turning thriller as it is a comedic, big-hearted exploration of love, loneliness, and the way writing can save us. Daniel Aleman’s meta winks at gay life in New York City are fresh and poignant, but the novel’s outlandishly delicious plot kept me pinned to every page. I could not put this book down.”—John Glynn, author of Out East
