Happy pub day to Murder as a Fine Art by David Morrell! This historical thriller draws inspiration from the Victorian essayist Thomas De Quincey. In the novel, De Quincey becomes both detective and murder suspect. He shares many things with the real De Quincey, including an addiction to opium. De Quincey scandalized England when he openly wrote about his addiction in Confessions of an English Opium Eater. Read an excerpt here.
