The Deadly Percheron by John Franklin Bardin is a gripping New York noir novel that delves into the darker side of human nature. When a wealthy young man appears at Dr George Matthews' office, uttering words of desperation, Matthews' life is forever changed.
As he becomes embroiled in a surreal world of mistaken identities, secrets, and insanity, Matthews finds himself searching for his own memory in a nightmarish urban jungle. The case takes a deadly turn when an actress is found murdered, with a horse tied up outside her apartment. With its unique atmosphere of threat, secrets, and madness, this book builds towards an extraordinary climax that must be read to be believed.
Set against the eerie backdrop of an abandoned Coney Island Fun House, The Deadly Percheron is a thrilling tale of psychological suspense that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
