Book Excerpt for the Day


    “Perhaps there’s more to his death than meets the eye.  Something feels not quite right.”

    “What do you mean, more specifically?”

    “It’s still mostly a gut instinct.  I went to Uppsala and read all the witness statements, and there’s actually nothing inconsistent or odd about them except, well, precisely that there is nothing odd about them.  If I’ve learned anything over the years, it’s that the truth is generally a little unexpected, or even illogical, since we humans aren’t entirely rational.  Whereas lies, as a rule, tend to be consistent and comprehensive and often sound like a cliché – especially if the liars aren’t very good.”
