A Book of Revelations (Paperback or Softback)

“Burch weaves a collection of crackerjack plot twists in which unlikely heroes seize the day.” - Kirkus Reviews

Secrets have a nasty way of coming out.

A music student learns life’s lessons far from the rehearsal hall. A scorned “mistress” crashes the memorial for her lover’s wife. A concertmaster must fill the shoes of a legendary conductor, while a disastrous Palm Beach dinner party strips a friendship of any illusions.

Elsewhere, a celebrated college dean’s carefully managed past comes looking for her. A gay detective investigating a murder confronts his attraction to the main suspect. An old family story refuses to stay in the past. And a conversation at an almost-empty wake foils the dead man’s last shot at revenge.

Eight stories. No safe assumptions. Truth has impeccably bad timing.

Illustrated by Madeline Sorel
