Murder Your Employer: The McMasters Guide to Homicide

🔍 The Plot:

Set in the 1950s, this darkly comedic mystery introduces us to The McMasters Conservatory for the Applied Arts, a secretive school where students learn the art of committing the perfect “deletion” (a more refined term for murder). The novel follows three students, Cliff Iverson, an engineer seeking revenge; Gemma Lindley, a secretary stuck under a cruel boss; and Dulcie Mown, a widow with her own vendetta. Each of them must navigate the school’s twisted curriculum while ensuring their targets meet an untimely but untraceable end.

🧨 The Hook:

The novel invites you into a hidden academy where, under dryly humorous guidance, students learn to justify, plan, and carry out the “perfect murder.” It’s a clever and compelling blend of moral reckoning and thrilling satire—with the tantalizing question: Can murder ever be taught… and justified?
