ORPHEUS NINE: Chris Flynn

Chris Flynn with a guest at our May Mystery Night event.

ORPHEUS NINE

by Chris Flynn

Suddenly, in the middle of a small-town junior football game, all the kids aged 9 freeze, start chanting, swell then drop dead. Soon it becomes clear this has impacted 9-year-olds all over the world and will continue to happen each time a child turns 9. The novel follows how everyday folk respond in the wake of this global catastrophe. Incredibly original storytelling by a masterful literary voice.​
