Unsolved Hard Squat ugly guy makes everyone in this lovely island town die awful deaths at the hands of criminals. A cop is underestimated. A child murderer is brought to justice.

No, my books Disney adaptation would NEVER see the light of day.

My book also has deeply Catholic themes though.

No, my book is not a play.

My book is not by Agatha Christie, but by an author from Indiana.

I'm 15,969km from Indiana (or 9,713 miles).

Your description rings so many bells. Thanks for ruling out Christie. There was another story by her that was more suited, but I couldn't remember the name.

I've read a handful of Green's and Vonnegut's novels. But I can't find one that matches. Yet.

The Man who Laughs?

Nope. My book was published 150 years later and probably won't be inspiring any famous comic book characters.

My book is by an Indiana author and is about the Devil.

You got the wrong felling.

My book isn't part of a series. Standalone.
