Carte - Murder by Design - Lee Goldberg

\nIn a world carefully constructed for murder, solving crimes takes a keen mind and eye in a witty, clever, and fresh reinvention of the whodunit by #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Goldberg.\n \nInvestigator Edison Bixby is brilliant, self-absorbed, handsome, and, due to a traumatic brain injury, impulsively rude. He also sees the world and the principles of its design as integral to determining motive when it comes to solving crimes. Speaking of motivation, his new assistant, Wally Nash, is a struggling actor who embodies every role he plays.\n \nIf their first case together looks like an accident, look again.\n \nCaroline Crowley took a nasty fall down a staircase at a shopping mall. Video clearly shows the deadly misstep. But Bixby is certain she was murdered by design, subtly manipulated into causing her own demise. The mall itself made the crime intentional, if not inevitable. Bixby's challenge is proving his outrageous theory before a cunning killer gets others to murder themselves, too.\n \nStep by step, as Nash gets into character, they uncover a multitude of mysteries behind a genius conspiracy that gets to the very bones of the scene of the crime.\n
