Edgar Award Winner for Best Novel and Winner of the PNBA Best Fiction Book of the Year "As thrilling as it is unnerving . . . Could have been written by Dashiell Hammett or James Crumley--at their best."--Greil Marcus, Esquire By the acclaimed author Robert Clark comes Mr. White's Confession , a novel of mystery, murder, and two men's search for truth. St. Paul, Minnesota, 1939. A grisly discovery is made. On a hillside, the dead body of a beautiful dime-a-dance girl is found, and an investigation opens. Assigned to the case is Police Lieutenant Wesley Horner, a man troubled and alone after his wife's recent death, a man with his own demons. He soon narrows his sights on Herbert White, an eccentric recluse and hobby photographer with a fondness for snapping suggestive photographs of the dime-a-dance girls. As Horner discovers, White is also a man with no memory, who must record his life in detailed journal entries and scrapbooks. For every interrogation Horner has, Herbert White has few answers, pushing the murder investigation into unknown territory and illuminating the complex relationship between truth and fiction, past and present, faith and memory.

I am retired and I read a lot. I am currently reading all of the previous Edgar Award winners.
I must say Mr. White's Confession is one of the worst books I have ever read. It was a total downer. Women were killed, the killer was never identified, the wrong man went to jail for many years, and the good cop lost his girlfriend for no good reason. A very unsatisfying book. I wanted to strangle the author when i finished it.
