Everything stays the same for the tenants of The Beresford, a grand
old apartment building just outside the city...until the doorbell
rings... Will Carver returns with an eerie, deliciously and
uncomfortably dark standalone thriller.
Just outside the city--any city, every city--is a grand, spacious, but
affordable apartment building called The Beresford. There's a routine at
The Beresford. For Mrs. May, every day's the same: a cup of cold, black
coffee in the morning, pruning roses, checking on her tenants, wine,
prayer, and an afternoon nap. She never leaves the building.
Abe Schwartz also lives at The Beresford. His housemate, Sythe, no
longer does. Because Abe just killed him. In exactly sixty seconds,
Blair Conroy will ring the doorbell to her new home and Abe will answer
the door. They will become friends. Perhaps lovers. And, when the time
comes for one of them to die, as is always the case at The Beresford,
there will be sixty seconds to move the body before the next unknowing
soul arrives at the door. Because nothing changes at The Beresford,
until the doorbell rings...
Eerie, dark, superbly twisted and majestically plotted, The Beresford
is the stunning standalone thriller from one of crime fiction's most
exciting names.
