A wealthy woman is dead in Hartford, CT, and the cause of death is anyone's guess. Suicide? Murder? Natural causes? The manner of death will determine the payout of her estate and there are as many possibilities as suspects.
Motives abound--greed, envy, anger, lust, pride--but who really had the means to pull it off? Could it have been the woman's estranged niece? Her driver? Or was it the young Matthew Wyman?
Equally devoted to racing plot and stunning craft, Burial of the Dead features likable but troubled Matthew, as he searches for sanity and redemption. A powerful and thrilling literary mystery that plays out like a symphony of several movements, Burial of the Dead is "an impressive vicious, disorienting fever-dream that lurches from lyrical to visceral and back again. It'll keep you guessing--and most of your guesses will be wrong."
