A masterwork of psychological suspense from one of Britain's finest crime writers, The Plot Against Roger Rider chronicles the intricately laid scheme of Geoffrey Paradine, who enlists his friend Paul to help him murder Roger Rider — only to find the conspiracy unravelling in deeply unexpected ways. Julian Symons crafts a taut, morally complex narrative that probes jealousy, betrayal, and the dangerous gap between intention and consequence. The novel unfolds through a dual structure of testimony and revelation, gradually dismantling each character's version of the truth until the reader is left questioning everything they assumed. Sharp-witted and relentlessly suspenseful, this is crime fiction at its most intellectually satisfying — a story where the real plot may not be the one anyone planned.
