Synopsis

Aircraft engineer Cliff Iverson is admitted to the McMasters Conservatory for the Applied Arts, a secretive institution — its location unknown even to its own students — whose entire curriculum is the art of the undetectable murder. To graduate, each student must plan and carry out the killing of one deserving target.

Cliff's is Merrill Fiedler, the former boss whose corruption and safety cover-ups cost people close to Cliff their lives and livelihoods.

Set in the 1950s and narrated through the mock-instructional voice of the school's dean, the novel follows Cliff and his fellow students as they're taught the patience, misdirection, and discipline a perfect crime requires — and what it actually costs to go through with one.
