If you could get away with any crime what would it be? Be honest, sometimes it works out. Like it does in "Saevus Corvax gets away with Murder" by K. J. Parker, the conclusion to this trilogy.
The downside about being clever is being right about things sometime. If say, you killed your brother, on accident mind you, 17 years ago and your father has been sending bounty hunters after you since you'd understandably be paranoid about most people. And if the same cleverness that let's you perform the geometry of violence has kept you alive all these years is screaming at you to run you'd be a fool to ignore it right? But an unexpected letter for a remaining sibling arrives Saevus of course has to respond, because there is nothing quiet like a sibling to make wisdom depart. And then things get awkward.
Reasons to read:
-I can't believe you pulled all those little bits together, you mad lad Parker
-You've been chasing the big score
-They are good together
-Some times it is dreadful being right
-A very decent chap
Cons:
-Oh, that hurt
