Description
A detective novel about eight famous romances with perfectly planned crimes. A hymn to the classics of the genre.
How do you get away with murder?
It has to seem impossible.
A few years ago, a Boston bookseller named Malcolm Kershaw, a specialist in thriller literature, compiled a list of detective novels for his internet blog. In each, there was described the perfect—unsolved—murder. The list offered genre classics: Agatha Christie’s “Murder by Alphabet,” Patricia Highsmith’s “Strangers on a Train,” John Macdonald’s “The Drowned One,” Donna Tartt’s “Secret History,” James Cain’s “Double Indemnity”… There were eight novels in total, and Malcolm called his list “Eight Perfect Murders.”
And now an FBI agent visits his shop. Someone has started a series of strange, almost inexplicable killings, and she believes the culprit is acting strictly according to Malcolm’s list—aiming to bring to life the plots of each of the books. Moreover, the FBI thinks the killer knows Kershaw well—and is trying to frame him. No matter how you look at it, the author of the list is now the main suspect. Besides, there’s still a long way to go before all eight “perfect murders” are carried out… Who will become the next victim?
