A New York Times Top Ten Thriller of the Year
One of the most innovative mysteries in recent memory. - The Wall Street JournalFrom the author of Ink Ribbon Red, Alex Pavesi's debut is a love letter to classic detective stories with a modern twist, proof that the best mysteries break all the rules.
There are rules for murder mysteries. There must be a victim. A suspect. A detective. Grant McAllister, a professor of mathematics, once sat down and worked all the rules out - and wrote seven perfect detective stories to demonstrate. But that was thirty years ago. Now Grant lives in seclusion on a remote Mediterranean island, counting the rest of his days. Until Julia Hart, a brilliant, ambitious editor knocks on his door. Julia wishes to republish his book, and together they must revisit those old stories: an author hiding from his past and an editor keen to understand it. But there are things in the stories that don't add up. Inconsistencies left by Grant that a sharp-eyed editor begins to suspect are more than mistakes. They may be clues, and Julia finds herself with a mystery of her own to solve. Dizzying, dazzling... When did you last read a genuinely original thriller? The wait is over.--A.J. Finn, The New York Times #1 bestselling author of The Woman in the Window
