Clayton Phillips has never been good at anything.
He's been fired from nearly every job he's held, washed out of the Navy before his career got started, and missed every signal the woman who loves him has ever sent. His dog tolerates him. His best friend deserves a monument. The one exception to a lifetime of failed commitment is his encyclopedic, obsessive devotion to serial killers.
So when a strangler begins terrorizing the small city of Port Marion - killing on a 28-day cycle - he doesn't lock his doors. He doesn't look over his shoulder. He starts a scrapbook.
Then the victims start getting closer. Mundane daily interactions turn exciting when the people in those interactions end up dead. And when Clayton is spotted near a crime scene looking conspicuous, the police don't just have questions. They have a suspect.
Arrested, interrogated, and paraded in front of cameras, Clayton discovers something: he likes it. The attention. The notoriety. The cover of TIME magazine. For the first time in his life, he's not watching from the outside.
But Clayton has made the oldest mistake there is. He's confused being near something extraordinary with being something extraordinary. And the one person who knows that better than anyone is the actual killer.
Tourist is a dark comedy about obsession, love, and the difference between the people who create and the people who watch. It is a story about what happens when the most ordinary man in the world gets exactly what he wished for.
