En savoir plus sur le livre

From the talented author of Before She Knew Him comes a chilling psychological suspense tale that pays homage to the thriller genre. The story follows Malcolm Kershaw, a bookseller and mystery enthusiast who unwittingly becomes the focus of an FBI investigation when a clever killer starts mimicking murders from his list of fiction's most ingenious crimes. Years ago, Malcolm compiled "Eight Perfect Murders," a selection of nearly unsolvable murders from classic works, including Agatha Christie's A. B. C. Murders and Patricia Highsmith's Strangers on a Train. His quiet life at the Old Devils Bookshop in Boston is disrupted when an FBI agent arrives, seeking information about a series of unsolved murders that resemble those on his list. As the investigation unfolds, Malcolm realizes that a killer is watching him, someone who knows his deepest secrets, including those he never shared with his late wife. To protect himself, he starts investigating potential suspects, but paranoia sets in as he begins to see a killer in everyone around him. As shocking twists emerge, the body count rises, tightening the noose around Malcolm's neck and leaving him fighting for his life.
