B. C. Murders, Patricia Highsmith\u2019s Strangers on a Train, Ira Levin\u2019s Deathtrap, A. A. Milne's The\u00a0Red House Mystery, Anthony Berkeley Cox's Malice Aforethought, James M. Cain's Double Indemnity, John D. MacDonald's The Drowner, and Donna Tartt's The\u00a0Secret History.But no one is more surprised than Mal, now the owner of the Old Devils Bookstore in Boston, when an FBI agent comes knocking on his door one snowy day in February. She\u2019s looking for information about a series of unsolved murders that look eerily similar to the killings on Mal\u2019s old list. And the FBI agent isn\u2019t the only one interested in this bookseller who spends almost every night at home reading. The killer is out there, watching his every move\u2014a diabolical threat who knows way too much about Mal\u2019s personal history, especially the secrets he\u2019s never told anyone, even his recently deceased wife. To protect himself, Mal begins looking into possible suspects . . . and sees a killer in everyone around him. But Mal doesn\u2019t count on the investigation leaving a trail of death in its wake. Suddenly, a series of shocking twists leaves more victims dead\u2014and the noose around Mal\u2019s neck grows so tight he might never escape" } ] } ], "title": [ { "_text": "Eight Perfect Murders", "mainTitle": [ { "value": "Eight Perfect Murders" } ], "type": "bf:Title" } ], "type": [ { "main_type": "docmaintype_book", "subtype": "docsubtype_e-book" } ] }, "updated": "2024-12-02T16:37:22.880512+00:00" }
