Official synopsis Publisher
“Doctor,” says Jacob Blunt, “I think I’m losing my mind.” Is he going mad, as he fears, or is there some reasonable explanation for the terrible things happening to him? Although first published in 1946, the colorful John Bardin has lost none of the extraordinary intensity of feeling nor his ability to shock the reader with a morbid psychology well ahead of his time — although commonplace today. His roots run back to Poe, is contemporary with Highsmith, and hints at todays psychological masterpieces. The problems of the characters in Bardin’s novels demand solutions that push the classic detective story well beyond the orthodox. The Deadly Percheron is as fresh and terrifying today as it was when written.
