If you want to get away with murder, play by the rules

Years ago Malcolm Kershaw wrote a list of his ¿Eight Favourite Murders¿ for his Old Devils mystery bookshop blog. Among others, it included those from Agatha Christie¿s The ABC Murders, Patricia Highsmith¿s Strangers on a Train and Donna Tartt¿s The Secret History.

Now, just before Christmas, Malcolm finds himself at the heart of an investigation - as an FBI agent believes someone may be re-enacting each of the murders on his list.

Can the killer be stopped before they get away with eight perfect murders?
