Indian — Randall Silvis
Originally published as a Black Mask novella in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, and later selected for inclusion in the prestigious Houghton Mifflin Harcourt anthology Best American Mystery Stories 2013, The Indian is a powerful story about love and betrayal between three brothers and their families. When the seller of a vintage Indian motorcycle reneges on a deal, the brothers enter into a pact to exact revenge. Unfortunately, their simple plan unearths ugly family secrets, and the resulting violence cuts a wide swath of devastation through all of their lives.
Praised by the New York Times Book Review and other critics as “a masterful storyteller,” Randall Silvis is the author of 13 acclaimed books of fiction and nonfiction. Winner of the prestigious Drue Heinz Literature Prize, two fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, and a finalist for the Hammett Award for Literary Excellence in Crime Writing, his books have been named to Best of the Year lists from The New York Times, the Toronto Globe & Mail, and the editors of SfSite.com. In 2007 he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Letters degree in recognition of his “distinguished literary achievements.”
