Swanson P.: The Kind Worth Killing

A devious tale of psychological suspense so irresistible that it prompts Entertainment Weekly to ask, Is The Kind Worth Killing the next Gone Girl? From one of the hottest new thriller writers, Peter Swanson, a name you may not know yet (but soon will), this is his breakout novel in the bestselling tradition of Paula Hawkins The Girl on the Train and is soon to be a major movie directed by Agnieszka Holland.

In a tantalizing set-up reminiscent of Patricia Highsmith s classic Strangers on a Train On a night flight from London to Boston, Ted Severson meets the stunning and mysterious Lily Kintner. Sharing one too many martinis, the strangers begin to play a game of truth, revealing very intimate details about themselves. Ted talks about his marriage that s going stale and his wife Miranda, who he s sure is cheating on him. Ted and his wife were a mismatch from the start he the rich businessman, she the artistic free spirit a contrast that once inflamed their passion, but has now become a cliche.
