The Dying Day Part 2 - Death of the Reader
4We discuss chapters 16-31 of Vaseem Khan's historical crime novel, 'The Dying Day'. A new riddle found on the thigh of the freshly-deceased scholar John Healy only piles more questions onto Persis Wadia's lap. Healy's list of contacts have little to say of his potential motive, until the unrelated murder investigation Fernandes is leading starts to join some dots. As past wounds are dug open, can Persis keep ahead of it all?
We're also joined by Vaseem Khan himself to talk about the novel, the construction of its riddles, and the upcoming collection 'The Perfect Crime', with its astonishing list of contributors.
