| Summary |
"It's not always a question of 'whodunit?' Sometimes there's more mystery in the why or how. And although we usually know the unfortunate fates of both victim and perpetrator, what of those clever few who plan and carry out what appears to be the perfect crime? Or the ones who aren't brought down even though they're found out? Or whose essential selves are changed by the crimes they commit? And what about those who do the finding out, who witness a murder, or who know the identity of the murderer but keep the information to themselves? Or who block from their minds what they can't bear to know only to have memory turn on them when they least expect it? These are some of the mysteries that these six stories begin to unlock as they draw us into the thinking, the emotional machinations, the recollections, the rationalizations, the dreams and desires, behind both murderous cause and effect"--Page 2 of dust jacket. |
