Like Graham Greene’s The Third Man and Eric Amber A Coffin for Dimitrios, The Crime of Julian Wells is a tale of identity or assumed an identity, an adventure to the complex maze of a mysterious life.

After the body of a well-known crime writer Julian Wells is found drifting in a boat on Montauk pond, the question is not how the author died, but why he died.

At first, it is evident that the death is a suicide, but the question that everyone asks, is why the crime writer would take his own life? Could this be his only crime? These are issues that regularly flock Philip Anders mind, Wells best friend and the central defender of both his literary and moral legacies.

Anders quest to find the answers to these two troubling questions becomes one stressful journey into a haunted life, one marked by learning, travel, adventure and achievement, a life that can never be celebrated and a life that whose single end points to terrors unknown to anyone.

Spanning 40 years and transversing between continents, The Crime of Julian Wells is an epic journey into a man’s heart of shadowiness than ends in a spark of light.
