McGerr, Pat - Pick Your Victim (1947)

 

It had to happen. Paul W. Stetson finally killed one of his vice-presidents. Each of them was kind of a pain, and Stetson was a notoriously nervous and violent man. No surprise indeed.

 

There is only one little problem: which of them has he killed?

 

A stunning tour de force, from a then-debutant author. Reversing whodunit's priorities in a revolutionary fashion, Mc Gerr reveals the guilty party from the start and turns on an unusual, compelling problem. Who has died? The answer is as surprising as expected, and wholly fair-play. As usual with McGerr, however, the book doesn't limit to a well-exploited gimmick. We have in bonus some delightful characterization and a lively office-life evocation. Barzun and Taylor raved about this book. They were right.
