The Chancellor Manuscript will be a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

It was a 1977 novel by Robert Ludlum.

The book was about the "alleged", secret files of J. Edgar Hoover and how they disappeared after his death, and how possibly they could be used to force people in high places to do the bidding of those who possessed the secrets contained therein.

In the story, an author named Chancellor writes a piece of fiction that comes close enough to the above scenario that the people who controlled those files decided that someone might know too much. This sets the stage for the international intrigue that follows, and in the end Ludlum leaves the reader wondering if it is he himself and not the protagonist of his story that knows of the conspiracy.
