Mystery | Suspense
Perish the Day is a riveting new mystery from John
Farrow, an author who "brings a literary fiction writer's
sensitivity to nuance and feel for landscape to this fine,
character-rich thriller with a bang-up finish"
(Booklist). A co-ed is found murdered on campus, her body scarcely
touched. The killer paid meticulous attention to the
aesthetics of his crime. Coincidentally (or not), a college
custodian is also found dead. While an epic rainstorm assails the Holyoake, New Hampshire
campus, overflowing rivers and taking down power lines, a
third crime scene is revealed: a professor, formerly a spy,
has been shot dead in his home. A mysterious note is found
that warned him to run. Each victim is connected to the Dowbiggin School of
International Relations, yet none seems connected to the
other. The dead student was a close friend of
Sergeant-Detective Émile Cinq-Mars’s niece, so he puts his
nose in; when internecine battles between police departments
create a rift, he covertly slips into the crevice so he can
be involved in the investigation. Coming up against campus secrets, Émile Cinq-Mars must
uncover the links between disparate groups quickly before
the next victim is selected for an elaborate initiation into
murder.
