Chapter one
When Marcus Sunday arrived books in Philadelphia
Expect much of a crowd
It was the Tuesday after Easter
Lots of people were still away on vacation
Training
Pleasantly surprised
The perfect Criminal
The manager introduced him
Marcus Sunday
From Harvard
Bestseller list
Fascinating look at to unsolved murder cases
Explained by a truly original mind focused on the depths of the criminal soul
And Sunday
Sturdy man looked to be in his late thirties
Step to the light turn black
Jeans
Crisp white shirt
I appreciate you coming out on a rainy night he said
And it’s a pleasure to be here at whodunit books
He talked about the killings
Two nights before Christmas
The five members of the daily family of suburban Omaha
Had been slain in their home
Except for the wife
They were beds
Throats had been cut with a scalpel or razor
Similarly
Trump
Naked
Either the doors been unlocked or the Killer Chucky
There been a snowstorm during the night
And any tracks were buried
In the aftermath of a thunderstorm
My hand family of suburban Fort Worth was discovered in a similar state
A father and four children under the age of 13
We found a new beds with their throats slit
The wife
Also with her throat slit
Was found naked
On the bathroom floor
Unlocked
The killer had had a key
Again I’m going to the storm in the Killer’s meticulous methods
The police found no usable evidence
I became interested because of that lack of evidence that void
Sunday informed is wrapped audience
Sunday said that the dearth of evidence that confused him at first
He talked to all the investigators working the case
But they were equally baffled
Is academic training took over
And he began to theorize about the philosophical worldview
I’m such a perfect killer
I came to the conclusion that he had to be an existentialist
Someone who thinks life is meaningless absurd
Without value
Someone who does not believe in God or laws or any other kind of moral or ethical basis to buy
Sunday or sometime
Reading from the book and explaining how the evidence surrounding the murder scenes
The Killers disbelief in Concepts like good and evil for example
Perfect Criminal
Made it impossible for him to feel guilty
Which is what allowed him to commit such heinous acts with dispassionate precision
Man raised his hand
You sound like you admire the killer sir
Sunday shook his head
I tried to describe his worldview accurately and let readers draw their own conclusions
A woman with dirty blonde hair
More handsome beautiful
Raise your hand
Revealing a sleeve tattoo that depicted a panther in a colorful jungle setting
I’ve read your book
She said in a Southern accent
I liked it
That’s a relief
Several people in the audience chuckled
The woman smiled said
Can you talk a little bit of the perfect criminals opposite
Perfect Detective
I speculated that the only way to perfect killer would ever get caught
Was by a detective who was his direct antithesis
Absolutely in God
Someone who was emblematic of the moral ethical universe
End of a meaningful life
The problem is that the perfect detective does not exist
And cannot exist
Why is that she asked
Because
Detectives are human
Monsters like the perfect killer
He said
Seeing some confusion in the audience
Sunday smile said
Let me put it this way
Can you imagine a real cold-blooded calculating mass or serial murderer
Suddenly turning Noble
Doing the right thing
Saving the day
Most of the audience shook their heads
Exactly perfect killer is who he is
Animal like that doesn’t change Sunday pod effect
How hard is it to imagine a noble Detective
How hard is it to imagine him abandoning God how hard is it to imagine
Meaningless
Existential monster and a perfect killer
That’s not hard at all to imagine now is
