Mystery
THE PROCEDURE HAS BEGUN . . . Fifteen years earlier. Jasper
College is buzzing with the news that famed literature
professor Richard Aldiss will be teaching a special night
class called Unraveling a Literary Mystery—from a video feed
in his prison cell. In 1982, Aldiss was convicted of the
murders of two female grad students; the women were killed
with axe blows and their bodies decorated with the novels of
notoriously reclusive author Paul Fallows. Even the most
obsessive Fallows scholars have never seen him. He is like a
ghost. Aldiss entreats the students of his night class to
solve the Fallows riddle once and for all. The author’s two
published novels, The Coil and The Golden Silence, are
considered maps to finding Fallows’s true identity. And the
only way in is to master them through a game called the
Procedure. You may not know when the game has begun, but
when you receive an invitation to play, it is an invitation
to join the elite ranks of Fallows scholars. Failure, in
these circles, is a fate worse than death. Soon, members of
the night class will be invited to play along . . . Present
day. Harvard professor Alex Shipley made her name as a
member of Aldiss’s night class. She not only exposed the
truth of Paul Fallows’s identity, but in the process
uncovered information that acquitted Aldiss of the heinous
1982 crimes. But when one of her fellow night class alums is
murdered— the body chopped up with an axe and surrounded by
Fallows novels—can she use what she knows about Fallows and
the Procedure to stop a killer before each of her former
classmates is picked off, one by one?
