Killer of Knowledge

Our protagonist is a detective chasing a murderer who kills with books—literally.

Books are generally responsible for liberating minds and granting wisdom. Imagine an individual turning this beacon of knowledge into a deadly weapon. How can a book be a murder weapon? Is it something about the contents, or is it physical? What is the murderer’s motive and what connection does he have with books, literature or literacy? Exploring this theme may lead to an intriguing blend of literary references, intellectual symbolism, and thrilling detective work.
