"Dizzying, dazzling -- a potent potion of a thriller, a brew of bibliophilia (think The Shadow of the Wind ), wire-taut tension ( The Talented Mr. Ripley ), and plot swerves so sharp and sudden you risk whiplash with each turn of the page, as bold as the best of Michael Connelly and Lisa Gardner. When did you last read a genuinely original thriller? The wait is over." --A.J. Finn, #1 N ew York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window "It's rare for me to read a book in a single day, but I couldn't put The Eighth Detective down. Compelling, clever, and beautifully-constructed. It deserves to be huge. I genuinely wanted to applaud at the end." --Alex North, New York Times bestselling author of The Whisper Man "In The Eighth Detective , Alex Pavesi constructs a remarkable puzzle that turns readers into literary detectives with every new twist. Both a celebration and a reinvention of mystery fiction." -- Matthew Pearl, New York Times bestselling author of The Dante Chamber and The Dante Club, "Dizzying, dazzling -- a potent potion of a thriller, a brew of bibliophilia (think The Shadow of the Wind ), wire-taut tension ( The Talented Mr. Ripley ), and plot swerves so sharp and sudden you risk whiplash with each turn of the page, as bold as the best of Michael Connelly and Lisa Gardner.

Synopsis
A New York Times Top Ten Thriller of the Year "One of the most innovative mysteries in recent memory." - The Wall Street Journal Alex Pavesi's The Eighth Detective is a love letter to classic detective stories with a modern twist, where nothing is as it seems, and proof that the best mysteries break all the rules. There are rules for murder mysteries. There must be a victim. A suspect. A detective. Grant McAllister, a professor of mathematics, once sat down and worked all the rules out - and wrote seven perfect detective stories to demonstrate. But that was thirty years ago. Now Grant lives in seclusion on a remote Mediterranean island, counting the rest of his days. Until Julia Hart, a brilliant, ambitious editor knocks on his door. Julia wishes to republish his book, and together they must revisit those old stories: an author hiding from his past and an editor keen to understand it. But there are things in the stories that don't add up. Inconsistencies left by Grant that a sharp-eyed editor begins to suspect are more than mistakes. They may be clues, and Julia finds herself with a mystery of her own to solve. "Dizzying, dazzling... When did you last read a genuinely original thriller? The wait is over."--A.J. Finn, #1 N ew York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window
