"Wright is a master of the psychological thriller."--Booklist
To Karl Alberg, a small town on Canada's Sunshine Coast looks like the perfect place to soothe a psyche that's been battered by too much big-city police work.
Bees buzz among the roses, and the local librarian is attractive, intriguing, and unattached. Perhaps he has at last come in from the cold. But sunny towns can conceal a lot of secrets--some of them bleak enough to make a man yearn for nice straightforward urban crime. Certainly, that would be simpler than unraveling the brutal, unlikely, and unpremeditated murder of an eighty-five-year-old man!
Winner of the 1986 Edgar Award, The Suspect remains a cult favorite among mystery fans, who are still captivated all these years later by L.R. Wright's deft and melancholic character study of a cop, his quarry, and the enigmatic librarian who proves an unlikely bridge between the two.
