| Summary |
"Murder in Black Letter" by Poul Anderson is a novel written in the mid-20th century. The story centers on Robert Kintyre, an assistant professor who becomes embroiled in a murder case involving Bruce Lombardi, one of his students. As Kintyre navigates the investigation, he confronts complex relationships, hidden motives, and the unraveling ties that connect the people around him. The opening of the novel introduces Robert Kintyre and Trygve Yamamura as they engage in a fencing bout in a garden in Berkeley. Their conversation hints at Kintyre's planned trip to Kings Canyon with Bruce Lombardi, who has gone missing. When police officer Moffat arrives, Kintyre learns that Lombardi has been found dead and that he is the last person to have been in contact with Bruce. As the narrative unfolds, Kintyre's connection to the murder victim deepens, and the tension escalates as he seeks to uncover the truth behind Lombardi's death while grappling with personal grief and the implications of his own past decisions.
