A stranded motorist . . . A Good Samaritan passerby ... a Nobel Prize-winning professor . . . The setup for a shocking murder designed to cover up an even more sinister crime . . . <p/><i>The Blackbird Papers</i> marks the debut of Ian Smith, a major new talent in crime fiction, and of Sterling Bledsoe, his smart and occasionally combative sleuth. <p/>World-renowned Dartmouth professor Wilson Bledsoe is returning from a party celebrating his latest honor when he encounters a broken-down pickup on the secluded country road to his home. The next day, the discovery of his body with a vicious racist epithet carved into his chest leads to the quick arrest of two loathsome white supremacists. The local authorities seem ready to accept the case at face value as a racial hate crime. But the murdered professor's brother, FBI agent Sterling Bledsoe, has inserted himself into the investigation and isn't ready to buy into this pat solution. A look around his brother's lab and brief interviews with his students and colleagues pique Sterling's curiosity about Wilson's pet project: a nearly completed paper on the mysterious deaths of hundreds of local blackbirds. <p/>Fast-paced and cleverly constructed, <i>The Blackbird Papers</i> introduces a major new voice in mystery and crime fiction.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Ian Smith's debut novel, <i>The Blackbird Papers</i>, is exceptional on all levels: the characters and setting are fresh, the plot is riveting, and you feel like you are in totally new territory.
