Publisher's Note Between 1943 and 2003, nine people have been stabbed to death with a most unusual weapon: a trident. In each case, arrests were made, suspects confessed their crime and were sentenced to life in prison. One slightly worrying detail is that the presumed murderers lost consciousness during the night of the crime and have no recollection of it.
Industry Reviews "WASH THIS BLOOD CLEAN FROM MY HANDS, which has all the oddness and idiosyncrasies we have come to expect, establishes Vargas beyond doubt as a cool, clever, original and deeply humane crime writer." (01/12/2007)
