Produktbeschreibung
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Ancient Nine and The Clean 20 A rainy night . . . A stranded motorist . . . A Good Samaritan passerby … a Nobel Prize-winning professor . . . The setup for a shocking murder designed to cover up an even more sinister crime . . . The Blackbird Papers marks the debut of Ian Smith, a major new talent in crime fiction, and of Sterling Bledsoe, his smart and occasionally combative sleuth. World-renowned Dartmouth professor Wilson Bledsoe is returning from a party celebrating his latest honor when he encounters a broken-down pickup on the secluded country road to his home. The next day, the discovery of his body with a vicious racist epithet carved into his chest leads to the quick arrest of two loathsome white supremacists. The local authorities seem ready to accept the case at face value as a racial hate crime. But the murdered professor's brother, FBI agent Sterling Bledsoe, has inserted himself into the investigation and isn't ready to buy into this pat solution. A look around his brother's lab and brief interviews with his students and colleagues pique Sterling's curiosity about Wilson's pet project: a nearly completed paper on the mysterious deaths of hundreds of local blackbirds. Fast-paced and cleverly constructed, The Blackbird Papers introduces a major new voice in mystery and crime fiction.

Autorenporträt
Ian was born in Essex in England, and at the age of 11 became abscessed with writing; it began with poems, then stories - mostly written for his own enjoyment. It wasn't until he emigrated, with his family, to Australia that a chance meeting with a friend, who suggested that he should think of publishing one of his stories; the first being, Nursery Rhymes, and then They Never Saw It Coming, a sequel. He has now followed it with Vengeance Is Mine, a follow on from his two previous novels. His latest book Titania's Treasure is awaiting publication.
