"[A] smartly entertaining reimagining of Agatha Christie's classic
And Then There Were None... Swanson cunningly plays with readers'
heads as we hope so-and-so gets it next."-- Washington Post
If you're on the list, someone wants you dead.
From the New York Times bestselling author of Eight Perfect
Murders comes the heart-pounding story of nine strangers who receive a
cryptic list with their names on it--and then begin to die in highly
unusual circumstances.
Nine strangers receive a list with their names on it in the mail.
Nothing else, just a list of names on a single sheet of paper. None of
the nine people know or have ever met the others on the list. They
dismiss it as junk mail, a fluke--until very, very bad things begin
happening to people on the list.
First, a well-liked old man is drowned on a beach in the small town of
Kennewick, Maine. Then, a father is shot in the back while running
through his quiet neighborhood in suburban Massachusetts. A frightening
pattern is emerging, but what do these nine people have in common? Their
professions range from oncology nurse to aspiring actor, and they're
located all over the country. So why are they all on the list, and who
sent it?
FBI agent Jessica Winslow, who is on the list herself, is determined to
find out. Could there be some dark secret that binds them all together?
Or is this the work of a murderous madman? As the mysterious sender
stalks these nine strangers, they find themselves constantly looking
over their shoulders, wondering who will be crossed off next...
