Synopsis

Now a major motion picture starring Guy Pearce, Pierce Brosnan & Minnie Driver.

Mild-mannered philosophy professor Evan Birch spends his days teaching college students to seek truth. Then, one afternoon, he’s pulled over by the police, handcuffed, and questioned about the disappearance of a local high school cheerleader. When the missing girl’s lipstick turns up in his car, the evidence against him begins to build. Even his wife and sons are having their doubts. And as the investigating officer engages him in a decidedly non-Socratic dialogue, Evan Birch begins to understand that truth may be elusive indeed — but sometimes you have to pick a story and stick with it...

From prize-winning author George Harrar, “The Spinning Man” offers riveting, whip-smart suspense in a tale in which every word matters-and questions of guilt and innocence are suddenly much more than academic.

About this title

Review

"(An) elegant and unnerving mystery of psychological suspense...(Harrar is) a graceful and subtle writer." -- New York Times Book Review, April 6, 2003

"A splendid exercise in suspense and terror: keeps you guessing right to the end." -- Kirkus Reviews

"A taut psychological drama...blends the commonplace and the esoteric with exceptional ease."-- Boston Globe, March 30, 2003

"Suspenseful...plot and an unblinking look at the tensions of family life make The Spinning Man is an interesting, offbeat read."-- Washington Post, May, 2003
