About
Death in Shards is a razor-sharp, genre-defying crime novel that will grip you from the first page and refuse to let go. Elias Thorne, a brilliant Black attorney with a meticulously crafted life, discovers his husband Julian's betrayal-and orchestrates the perfect murder. But in a world where every detail matters and every alibi is a performance; perfection is a dangerous illusion.
Set against the glittering and gritty backdrop of New York City, the novel unfolds through a chorus of unforgettable voices: the calculating killer, the haunted victim, the relentless detectives, and the lovers and neighbors caught in the crossfire. As the investigation tightens, secrets unravel-about race, class, sexuality, and the art of survival. With echoes of Dostoevsky and Patricia Highsmith, Death in Shards is as much a psychological thriller as it is a meditation on guilt, justice, and the stories we tell to survive.
Visser's prose is electric, his characters complex and deeply human. This is a novel for readers who crave suspense with substance, and who aren't afraid to peer into the darkest corners of the human heart. Death in Shards will leave you questioning every motive-and every truth-until its final, devastating twist.
