From the creator and writer of the Emmy Award-winning series Fargo, based on the Oscar-winning Coen Brothers film.Linus Owen is a professional conspiracy theorist. A college professor by day, he is unable to leave his suspicions at the classroom door. He is deeply mistrustful of money and all signs of financial success. Little does he expect, however, that a true conspiracy will come knocking at his door, in the form of two FBI agents. Linus' wife, Claudia, an advertising executive, is meant to be visiting her mother in Chicago. But according to the FBI, she has just been killed in a plane crash on a flight to Brazil. The man who bought her ticket, and died alongside her, was the vice president of a large pharmaceutical company. Together with two friends and fellow theorists, Linus sets out to solve the mystery. Following a number of strange and troubling encounters, the trio begins to realise that they have a new mission: to try to stay alive.

Review:
For a debut novel, A CONSPIRACY OF TALL MEN is very impressive. It was written in 1998 and given the increased currency the internet gives to conspiracy theories, may have been ahead of its time on first publication. It still feels very current. (Crime Review)
Book Description:
With writing that is electric, whip-smart and full of suspense, Noah Hawley - creator and writer of the Emmy Award-winning series Fargo, based on the Oscar-winning Coen Brothers film - draws us into a deliciously labyrinthine world of paranoia and plots.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Linus Owen is a young professor of conspiracy theory at a small college just outside San Francisco. He teaches graduate-level classes on JFK and gives seminars on magic-bullet theories and how the symbols on the dollar bill reveal the presence of a secret government that is leading the world to ruin. Linus's marriage is foundering and his wife, Claudia, an up-and-coming advertising executive, has gone to Chicago to visit her mother. But if Claudia is in Chicago, how is it that two FBI agents show up at Linus' office and inform him that Claudia has been killed in a plane crash on her way from New York to Brazil? And why did a man named Jeffrey Holden, the vice president of a major pharmaceutical company, buy her ticket and die beside her? Enlisting the aid of Edward and Roy - his friends and fellow conspiracy theorists - Linus heads across the country in search of answers. Along the way, the trio encounters a legion of disturbing and provocative characters and clues, including an irascible talk show host, a mind-controlling drug, and art emerging link between Claudia's ad agency and the U.S, Government. As their journey progresses, it becomes frighteningly clear they've left the realm of the academic and are tangled up in a dangerous, multilayered cover-up. Finally, deep in the heart of the American desert, stunned by an ominous revelation, Linus sees he has a new minion: to try to stay alive. With writing that is electric, whip-smart and full of suspense, Noah Hawley - creator and writer of the Emmy Award-winning series Fargo, based on the Oscar-winning Coen Brothers film - draws us into a deliciously labyrinthine world of paranoia and plots.
