![]() | The Transcendental Murder (1964) (The first book in the Homer Kelly series) A novel by Jane Langton |
| "A delight!... The most enjoyable murder mystery of the year." Eudora Welty |
"Dying is a wild night and a new road" wrote Emily Dickinson. The sharpness of this poetic vision takes on a new meaning when, during the annual pageant commemorating Paul Revere's ride, a prominent citizen's gruesomely ventilated body (still in Minuteman costume) signals a murderer is on the loose.
Homer Kelly, celebrated Emersonian scholar and legendary ex-homicide detective, happens to be in Concord completing his academic opus. When the local constabulary asks him for help, he willingly agrees.
Genre: Mystery
