A fast-paced literary puzzler, Dominance is “an academic mystery that gleefully illustrates the dangers of losing yourself in a book” (The New York Times Book Review).This clever twist on the classic locked room mystery is “The Silence of the Lambs meets And Then There Were None…a terrific premise.” (Booklist). In 1994, nine students at Jasper college in Vermont were hand-picked to join a special night class taught by infamous literature professor—and murderer—Richard Aldiss, live from a video feed in his prison cell. Twelve years earlier, Aldiss had been convicted of the murders of two female grad students whose bodies were decorated with the novels of notoriously reclusive author Paul Fallows. Even the most obsessive Fallows scholars have never seen the man.
