A Murder
of Prose
Coming this Fall
"Do you want to ride the lightning?" whispered the killer.
​
Samuel Rigondeaux, a meticulous reference librarian, joins five aspiring writers at the Lethbridge Library each week to fulfil his dream of writing a novel.
What could be the harm? A bruised ego?
But when novelists start turning up dead at the hands of a twisted serial killer, a black crow feather left at each murder scene, and the police investigation falters, Samuel is compelled to act. He recruits Flagstaff, an ex-RCMP detective suffering PTSD and living on the streets, to investigate the gruesome killings before another author is brutally silenced.
Can the librarian’s mad research skills and Flagstaff’s streetwise savvy reveal the killer’s identity, or will Samuel be added to the growing body count? And why are crows maintaining a not-so-silent vigil at the library?
​
Dive into this gripping murder mystery where the pursuit of literary dreams turns into a final, fatal chapter, proving that some stories are better left unwritten.
"Scott hooked me in the first 10 pages and kept me guessing to the very end. Great character depth that served the story well. I hope to see more of it in the future. A definite future staff pick at Analog Books and bound to make our 2025 best sellers list."
