Vera Caspary, the famed author of Laura, gives us another gripping
crime drama, told through shifting points of view.
John Ansell, young and idealistic editor of Truth and Crime magazine,
wants to breathe new life into the stale and formulaic publication.
Instead of rehashing a story that's already been proven popular
elsewhere, he finds a fresh one: the murder of Warren G. Wilson, famed
figurehead of a correspondence course. The murder itself isn't too
remarkable--just a bullet in the back--but the victim is another case,
as it becomes apparent that despite having a household name, nothing is
known about him. Perhaps even more peculiar is how Ansell's boss
absolutely refuses to run the story and, soon thereafter, Ansell is
poisoned.
Caspary masterfully allows the truth to slowly untangle in this
incredibly woven mystery, finally available as an ebook.
