The Part-Time Job

The Part-Time Job

Come celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of P.D. James, the undisputed “Queen of Crime,” with a dark, twisted take on how the best revenge is served cold. Willing to wait decades to dispatch the bully who tormented his youth, our narrator has a plan—and the unwavering patience and brutal fortitude to enact its every chilling step. With merciless, meticulous efficiency, James takes us into the mind of a seemingly ordinary man, beneath whose unassuming guise lurks a true Machiavellian genius—for murder.
