About this listen
A few years ago, David Alvarez had it all: a six-figure book deal, a loving boyfriend, and an exciting writing career. His debut novel was a resounding success, which made the publication of his second book—a total flop—all the more devastating. Now, David is single, lonely, and desperately trying to come up with the next great idea for his third manuscript, one that will redeem him in the eyes of readers, reviewers, the entire publishing world…and maybe even his ex-boyfriend.
But good ideas are hard to come by, and the mounting pressure of a near-empty bank account isn’t helping. When David connects with a sexy stranger on a dating app, he figures a wild night out in New York City may be just what he needs to find inspiration.
But after one of the best nights of his life, David wakes up hungover but giddy—only to find prince charming dead next to him in bed. Suddenly faced with the implausible idea that he may have actually killed his date, David calls the only person he can trust in a moment of crisis: his literary agent, Stacey.
Together, David and Stacey must untangle the events of the previous night, cover their tracks, and spin the entire misadventure into David’s career-defining novel—if only they can figure out what to do with the body first.

Critic Reviews
"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."
—Publishers Weekly
"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
