HTML:David Pepin has been in love with his wife, Alice, since the moment they met in a university seminar on Alfred Hitchcock. After thirteen years of marriage, he still can't imagine a remotely happy life without her—yet he obsessively contemplates her demise. Soon she <i>is</i> dead, and David is both deeply distraught and the prime suspect.<br /> The detectives investigating Alice's suspicious death have plenty of personal experience with conjugal enigmas: Ward Hastroll is happily married until his wife inexplicably becomes voluntarily and militantly bedridden; and Sam Sheppard is especially sensitive to the intricacies of marital guilt and innocence, having decades before been convicted and then exonerated of the brutal murder of <i>his</i> wife.<br /> Still, these men are in the business of figuring things out, even as Pepin's role in Alice's death grows ever more confounding when they link him to a highly unusual hit man called Mobius. Like the Escher drawings that inspire the computer games David designs for a living, these complex, interlocking dramas are structurally and emotionally intense, subtle, and intriguing; they brilliantly explore the warring impulses of affection and hatred, and pose a host of arresting questions. Is it possible to know anyone fully, <i>completely</i>? Are murder and marriage two sides of the same coin, each endlessly recycling into the other? And what, in the end, is the truth about love?<br /> Mesmerizing, exhilarating, and profoundly moving, <i>Mr. Peanut</i> is a police procedural of the soul, a poignant investigation of the relentlessly mysterious human heart—and a first novel of the highest order.<br /> <i>From the Hardcover edition.</i>.
