Notes From Your BooksellerRandall Silvis’ Two Days Gone is a favorite here at Barnes & Noble. His latest title, Deepest Black, is written in the style of a true crime memoir that blends fact and fiction where the author is ALSO a character. We are fans of the novel that turns in on itself and reflects a mystery wrapped within another mystery. Where does the truth end and the story begin? We recommend the occasional lowering of the book to help keep you grounded in reality.
A crime novel unlike any you've ever read—based on true events
Where does the line blur between fact and fiction?
Acclaimed author Randall Silvis is looking for a story—any story to follow up the series of gripping mystery novels that catapulted him to success. And then, out of nowhere, a story appears. A mysterious stranger named Thomas Kennaday tips Silvis off about a series of murders in a small Pennsylvania town, sending Silvis off on a tentative investigation in hopes of finding material for his next novel.
What Silvis discovers is much more than a typical small-town murder case, and it soon becomes clear that Kennaday, who seems to have disappeared into thin air, is somehow pulling the strings of the investigation from behind the scenes. Based on true events, The Deepest Black is a profoundly thoughtful, unsettling read, and a crime novel unlike any you've ever read before.
