Mystery
A gritty, riveting, and wholly original murder mystery
from PEN/Hemingway Award-winning author and 2015 Edgar
Awards finalist Chris Abani
Before he can retire,
Las Vegas detective Salazar is determined to solve a recent
spate of murders. When he encounters a pair of conjoined
twins with a container of blood near their car, he’s sure he
has apprehended the killers, and enlists the help of Dr.
Sunil Singh, a South African transplant who specializes in
the study of psychopaths. As Sunil tries to crack the twins,
the implications of his research grow darker. Haunted by his
betrayal of loved ones back home during apartheid, he seeks
solace in the love of Asia, a prostitute with hopes of
escaping that life. But Sunil’s own troubled past is fast on
his heels in the form of a would-be
assassin.
Suspenseful through the last page, The
Secret History of Las Vegas is Chris Abani’s most
accomplished work to date, with his trademark visionary
prose and a striking compassion for the inner lives of
outsiders.
