    A baffling triptych of murder mysteries by the twice Booker Prize-shortlisted author of The Trees, James and Erasure.

    In Assumption, Percival Everett is on top form as he once again upends our expectations about characters, plot, race, and meaning.

    Ogden Walker, deputy sheriff of a small New Mexico town, is on the trail of an old woman's murderer. But at the crime scene, his are the only footprints leading up to and away from her door. Something is amiss, and even his mother knows it. As other cases pile up, Ogden gives chase, pursuing flimsy leads for even flimsier reasons. His hunt takes him from the seamier side of Denver to a hippie commune as he seeks the puzzling solution. A wild ride to the heart of a baffling mystery, Assumption is a literary thriller like no other from the author of Erasure, now an Oscar-nominated feature film.

    Part of the Picador Collection, a series celebrating fifty years of Picador books and showcasing the best of modern literature.
