Acclaimed Southern mystery master Christopher Swann delivers a riveting novel of murder and mayhem perfect for fans of Linwood Barclay and Michael Farris Smith. Nick Anthony has retreated to the North Carolina mountains to mourn the untimely death of his wife. Once a popular professor, Nick just wants to be left alone with his grief.
How long must we pay for the crimes of our youth? That is just one question that Christopher Swann explores in this compulsively readable debut, a literary thriller set in the elite-and sometimes dark-environs of Blackburne, a prep school in Virginia. When Matthias Glass's best friend Fritz vanishes without a trace in the middle of an argument during their senior year, Matthias tries to move on with his life, only to realize that until he discovers what happened to his missing friend, he will be stuck in the past-guilty, responsible, alone.
Crime is a perfect vehicle for any kind of story. At the very least, it provides you with an immediate conflict which you can spin out into a developed plot. Crime places your characters under pressure. It raises the stakes for all the characters involved, either the victims or the criminals or the agents of justice, whether they are law enforcement officers or private detectives or citizens who want to take matters into their own hands. When I was in college, I drove a Suzuki Samurai with a soft top.
I'm now an officially published author. I have an agent, that magical unicorn hopeful writers search for, sometimes for years. I have a first novel that sold well enough to earn back its advance and then some. It-and I-got nominated for awards and even reviewed in The New York Times Book Review. I've met lots of other writers, some of them famous, and made a lot of new friends in the publishing world. That's not entirely true. Having published a book is a glorious thing, and one should be proud of that accomplishment.
When I was an undergraduate student at Washington and Lee, the author Richard Ford visited campus. I had read his short story "Rock Springs" and his most recent novel at the time, The Sportswriter, and I vaguely understood that he was a Serious American Author, an up-and-coming big deal in the world of American literary fiction.
