I have rapidly skimmed through the sample (ca. 8 chapters) of the book available online, and did not notice any plagiarism (although both have a character named Theo).
Seems like a publicity stunt (barring actual receipts eg showing lifted dialogue or such).
I am surprised the Estate or Harper Collins has not sued the author or his publisher (as far as I know).
