"What a killer read! A Talent For Murder is the thrilling tale of a woman who suspects her husband is a serial killer. As the bodies stack up, so does the paranoid tension until I was feverishly turning pages in the dark, desperate to know what happens next. A fast, exciting read with twist after twist." — Janice Hallett, Internationally bestselling author of The Appeal A newlywed librarian begins to suspect the man she married might be a murderer—in this spectacularly twisty and deviously clever novel by Peter Swanson, New York Times bestselling author of The Kind Worth Killing and Eight Perfect Murders. Martha Ratliff conceded long ago that she’d likely spend her life alone. She was fine with it, happy with her solo existence, stimulated by her work as a librarian in Maine. But then she met Alan, a charming and sweet-natured salesman whose job took him on the road for half the year. When he asked her to marry him, she said yes, even though he still felt a little bit like a stranger. A year in and the marriage was good, except for that strange blood streak on the back of one of his shirts he’d worn to a conference in Denver. Her curiosity turning to suspicion, Martha investigates the cities Alan visited over the past year and uncovers a disturbing pattern—five unsolved cases of murdered women. Is she married to a serial killer? Or could it merely be a coincidence? Unsure what to think, Martha contacts an old friend from graduate school for advice. Lily Kintner once helped Martha out of a jam with an abusive boyfriend and may have some insight. Intrigued, Lily offers to meet Alan to find out what kind of man he really is . . .but what Lily uncovers is more perplexing and wicked than they ever could have expected.

«Tras la asombrosa Ocho asesinatos perfectos, Swanson vuelve a dar en el clavo con este genial homenaje a la novela negra de la vieja escuela».Booklist Nueve desconocidos reciben por correo una lista de nombres entre los que figura el suyo. Solo eso, solo una lista en una hoja de papel. Ninguno de los nueve conoce o ha conocido a los demás, así que no le prestan la menor atención, atribuyéndolo a una broma, a un error o a una simple coincidencia. Hasta que empiezan a ocurrirles cosas: primero, un anciano muere ahogado en una playa de la pequeña localidad de Kennewick, Maine; después, un padre recibe un disparo en la espalda mientras corre por su tranquilo vecindario en los suburbios de Massachusetts... Enseguida empieza a perfilarse un patrón aterrador. ¿Qué tienen en común estas nueve personas? Aparentemente, nada. Sus profesiones van desde enfermero de oncología hasta aspirante a actor, y se encuentran diseminadas por todo el país. ¿Por qué están amenazadas entonces? ¿Y por quién? La agente del FBI Jessica Winslow, que aparece también en la lista, está decidida a averiguarlo. Mientras tanto, nadie puede dejar de preguntarse cuál será el próximo nombre en ser tachado.

Dans la veine de Huit crimes parfaits, le nouveau best-seller de Peter Swanson est un hommage brillant à Agatha Christie. Neuf personnes, sans aucun lien apparent entre elles, reçoivent simultanément une liste de neuf noms, dont le leur. Une simple liste, sans la moindre explication. Certains y voient une mauvaise blague, d''autre une erreur, en tout cas rien de vraiment digne d''intérêt. Mais lorsque deux d''entre eux sont retrouvés mort, un terrifiant compte à rebours s''enclenche. De nouveaux meurtres s''enchaînent mais aucun rapport entre ces neuf individus ne se dessine. Jessica Winslow, agent du FBI, est bien décidée à tirer tout cela au clair, d''autant que son nom figure également sur la liste. "On ne lâche pas ce livre. L’hommage à Agatha Christie est très clair, l’écriture est fluide et efficace, qui sonne juste, des chapitres courts mais qui en disent assez. Vous savez, on quitte un personnage avec lequel on était bien, et puis deux lignes dans le chapitre suivant on l’a oublié parce qu’on est happé par le nouveau." - Europe 1

“Delicious…I defy you to stop reading The Christmas Guest once you begin.” — New York Times Book Review New York Times bestselling author Peter Swanson pens a spectacularly spine-chilling novella in which an American art student in London is invited to join a classmate for the holidays at Starvewood Hall, her family’s Cotswold manor house. But behind the holly and pine boughs, secrets are about to unravel, revealing this seemingly charming English village’s grim history. Ashley Smith, an American art student in London for her junior year, was planning on spending Christmas alone, but a last-minute invitation from fellow student Emma Chapman brings her to Starvewood Hall, country residence of the Chapman family. The Cotswold manor house, festooned in pine boughs and crammed with guests for Christmas week, is a dream come true for Ashley. She is mesmerized by the cozy, firelit house, the large family, and the charming village of Clevemoor, but also by Adam Chapman, Emma’s aloof and handsome brother. But Adam is being investigated by the local police over the recent brutal slaying of a girl from the village, and there is a mysterious stranger who haunts the woodland path between Starvewood Hall and the local pub. Ashley begins to wonder what kind of story she is actually inhabiting. Is she in a grand romance? A gothic tale? Or has she wandered into something far more sinister and terrifying than she’d ever imagined? Over thirty years later the events of that horrific week are revisited, along with a diary from that time. What began in a small English village in 1989 reaches its ghostly conclusion in modern-day New York, many Christmas seasons later.

Neun Personen aus ganz Amerika erhalten einen Brief ohne Absender: eine Liste mit neun Namen, inklusive dem eigenen. Mehr nicht. Die Empfänger kennen einander nicht, sind sich nie begegnet. Wohnort, Beruf, Alter - nichts scheint sie zu verbinden. So verschieden wie ihre Leben sind ihre Reaktionen. Caroline, Englischprofessorin aus Michigan, fühlt sich an eine Todesliste wie aus einem Krimi erinnert, Arthur, Krankenpfleger aus Massachusetts, hält den Brief für falsch adressierte Werbung, Ethan, Singer-Songwriter aus Texas, wird von der Liste zu einem Song inspiriert. Und dann sterben sie, einer nach dem anderen. Der pensionierte Barbesitzer Frank ertrinkt am Strand einer Kleinstadt in Maine, der Familienvater Matthew wird in Massachusetts beim Joggen erschossen, Arthur stirbt im Schlaf an einer Kohlenmonoxidvergiftung. Auch der Name von FBI-Agentin Jessica Winslow steht auf der Liste. Zusammen mit Detective Sam Hamilton versucht sie fieberhaft, das geheimnisvolle Muster zu erkennen - und so den perfiden, tödlichen Plan zu durchkreuzen.

A pulp novel has a book critic wondering if his new wife is out to kill him in this thrilling story by the New York Times–bestselling author of Nine Lives. When Henry arrives with his wife, Alice, for their honeymoon at a New England lake house, he encounters a strange sense of déjà vu. Plenty of vacation homes have shelves full of books, but this one has midcentury-American crime novels by the likes of John D. MacDonald, Ed McBain, Rex Stout, Patricia Highsmith, and more. It’s just like Henry’s collection back home. There is one book, however, that’s unfamiliar: The Honeymoon Trap. As Henry reads it, he finds the story has uncanny similarities with his own situation—newlyweds on a honeymoon after a whirlwind romance. When Alice begins to act suspiciously, Henry’s grip on reality slowly comes loose. He can’t stop reading the book and wondering what his wife is up to. He also believes he may be caught in a trap, and getting out of it is going to be murder . . .

"It is an exhaustive overview of LeCompte’s work and is chock-full of expertly photographed images." — Princeton Herald “The book is a magnificent volume. It is as comprehensive as one could hope.” — Anglican and Episcopal History Rowan LeCompte (1925-2014) was a world-renowned stained-glass artist best known for his work in Washington National Cathedral that spanned an unprecedented 70 years of artistic commission. Rowan LeCompte: Master of Stained Glass celebrates LeCompte’s artistic inspiration, distinctive technique, and unique perspective on a medieval decorative art, which he transformed into a fine art for modern times. The book traces his fascinating trajectory, from a determined teenager to a charming octogenarian with a clear vision of what stained glass can do within and beyond cathedral walls. More than an artist biography, this book illuminates the essence of human nature and its balance of light and darkness. Growing up in Baltimore, young Rowan LeCompte was fascinated by color and light, collecting colored glass fragments that his older brother – Stuart, a scientist – had discarded from his lab at Johns Hopkins. A visit to the Washington National Cathedral at age 14 would prove transformative for LeCompte, who later described the day as his “second birthday.” At age 15, LeCompte knew what he wanted to do for the rest of his life: combine his love of architecture and painting through the study of stained glass. Just a year later, he earned his first commission in the National Cathedral: the very place that forged his destiny. Rowan LeCompte’s seven decades of work not only fulfilled his teen ambition beyond expectations – it changed the art of stained glass itself. Rowan LeCompte: Master of Stained Glass takes readers behind-the-scenes of LeCompte’s process, hearing from the artist first-hand about his unexpected inspirations – and rejected ideas – for color and design, and illustrating his work from the first ‘cartoon’ storyboards of windows, to painting the finishing touches on some of his best-known work. This beautiful 4-color photo art book tells of the complete history of Rowan’s life, incorporating brilliant full-color photos of many of the windows which highlight the details of the imagination and innovation of this modern artist working in an ancient medium. It was his single-minded determination to create works that make the world a more beautiful place that will mark Rowan LeCompte as a great master for years to come. Rowan LeCompte: Master of Stained Glass is a companion to Peter Swanson’s two films about Rowan. One of these films, Let There Be Light, documented LeCompte’s final commission for the Washington National Cathedral’s centennial celebration. The film won the Best of Festival award at Washington, D.C.’s Independent Film Festival.

¿EXISTE EL CRÍMEN PERFECTO? Ocho clásicos de la novela negra. Ocho maneras de matar. Un solo asesino. «Diabólicamente entretenido». Anthony Horowitz «De manera perspicaz e inesperada, Peter Swanson nos arrastra de un giro de la trama al siguiente, hasta que, con la tensión a flor de piel y los nervios disparados, llegamos a la sorprendente conclusión final. Un verdadero tour de force». Lisa Gardner Hace quince años, el aficionado a las novelas de misterio Malcolm Kershaw publicó en el blog de la librería en la que entonces trabajaba una lista —que apenas recibió visitas ni comentarios— sobre los que a su juicio eran los más logrados crímenes literarios de la historia. La tituló Ocho asesinatos perfectos e incluía clásicos de varios de los grandes nombres del género negro: Agatha Christie, James M. Cain, Patricia Highsmith... Por eso Kershaw, ahora viudo y copropietario de una pequeña librería independiente en Boston, es el primer sorprendido cuando una agente del FBI llama a su puerta en un gélido día de febrero, buscando información sobre una macabra serie de asesinatos sin resolver que se parecen inquietantemente a los seleccionados por él en aquella vieja lista... ¿Existe el asesinato perfecto? En este original e inteligente thriller, Peter Swanson desdibuja con mano maestra las fronteras entre la realidad y la ficción, convirtiendo así su apasionante y lúdica trama en un nostálgico homenaje a los más brillantes y acabados crímenes de la literatura detectivesca.

New York Times bestseller “Swanson rips us from one startling plot twist to the next… A true tour de force.” —Lisa Gardner “[A] multilayered mystery that brims with duplicity, betrayal and revenge.” —USA Today From the hugely talented author of The Kind Worth Killing comes a chilling tale of psychological suspense and an homage to the thriller genre tailor-made for fans: the story of a bookseller who finds himself at the center of an FBI investigation because a very clever killer has started using his list of fiction’s most ingenious murders. Years ago, bookseller and mystery aficionado Malcolm Kershaw compiled a list of the genre’s most unsolvable murders, those that are almost impossible to crack—which he titled “Eight Perfect Murders”—chosen from among the best of the best including Agatha Christie’s A. B. C. Murders, Patricia Highsmith’s Strangers on a Train, Ira Levin’s Deathtrap, A. A. Milne''s The Red House Mystery, Anthony Berkeley Cox''s Malice Aforethought, James M. Cain''s Double Indemnity, John D. MacDonald''s The Drowner, and Donna Tartt''s The Secret History. But no one is more surprised than Mal, now the owner of the Old Devils Bookstore in Boston, when an FBI agent comes knocking on his door one snowy day in February. She’s looking for information about a series of unsolved murders that look eerily similar to the killings on Mal’s old list. And the FBI agent isn’t the only one interested in this bookseller who spends almost every night at home reading. The killer is out there, watching his every move—a diabolical threat who knows way too much about Mal’s personal history, especially the secrets he’s never told anyone, even his recently deceased wife. To protect himself, Mal begins looking into possible suspects . . . and sees a killer in everyone around him. But Mal doesn’t count on the investigation leaving a trail of death in its wake. Suddenly, a series of shocking twists leaves more victims dead—and the noose around Mal’s neck grows so tight he might never escape.

Traue nie der Unschuld, denn sie verbirgt manchmal die tödlichsten Geheimnisse ... Harry Ackerson ist am Boden zerstört, als er erfährt, dass sein Vater bei einem Sturz von den Klippen ums Leben gekommen ist. Die Polizei hält es für einen Unfall, doch Harry weiß, dass sein Vater fit war und den Weg jeden Tag lief. Auf der Beerdigung fällt ihm eine Frau auf, die er noch nie zuvor gesehen hat. Und dann spricht Harrys Stiefmutter Alice den Verdacht aus, dass sein Vater eine Affäre hatte. Liegt hier der Schlüssel zu seinem Tod? Harry ahnt nicht, dass jede der Frauen Geheimnisse hütet und dass die Wahrheit viel finsterer ist, als er sich in seinen schlimmsten Träumen ausmalen könnte ...

Harry Ackerson a considerat-o întotdeauna pe mama sa vitregă, Alice, frumoasă și sexy într-un mod „nepământean“. Ea a fost mereu amabilă și atentă, chiar dacă un pic distantă în ultimii ani. Cu câteva zile înainte ca Harry să absolve facultatea, Alice îl sună cu o veste șocantă. Tatăl său este mort, iar poliția crede că s-a sinucis. Distrus, Harry se întoarce în Maine, acasă la tatăl său, și, împreună cu Alice, își propun să afle ce s-a întâmplat. La scurt timp, Harry întâlnește o tânără misterioasă pe nume Grace McGowan. Deși susține că este nou sosită în zonă, Harry bănuiește că Grace i-a cunoscut părinții. Dar Grace nu este singura femeie atrăgătoare interesată de Harry. Senzuala Alice îi face și ea avansuri. Harry este tot mai vrăjit de cele două femei, însă cu cât se apropie mai mult de ele, cu atât se simte mai izolat și mai dezorientat, temându-se că atât Grace, cât și Alice ascund secrete periculoase – chiar mortale – și că nici una nu spune adevărul. „Iubitorii suspansului vor devora această carte delicios de duplicitară, plină de răsturnări de situație, senzualitate, lăcomie și minciuni.“ Library Journal „Noul thriller psihologic al lui Swanson este o explorare captivantă a amăgirii și a înșelăciunii.“ Booklist „Un amestec exploziv de seducții, obsesii și secrete întunecate.“ New York Journal of Books „Acest roman de suspans plin de atmosferă și elegant este o adevărată plăcere.“ Sunday Mirror

Catching a killer is dangerous—especially if he lives next door From the hugely talented author of The Kind Worth Killing comes an exquisitely chilling tale of a young suburban wife with a history of psychological instability whose fears about her new neighbor could lead them both to murder . . . Hen and her husband Lloyd have settled into a quiet life in a new house outside of Boston, Massachusetts. Hen (short for Henrietta) is an illustrator and works out of a studio nearby, and has found the right meds to control her bipolar disorder. Finally, she’s found some stability and peace. But when they meet the neighbors next door, that calm begins to erode as she spots a familiar object displayed on the husband’s office shelf. The sports trophy looks exactly like one that went missing from the home of a young man who was killed two years ago. Hen knows because she’s long had a fascination with this unsolved murder—an obsession she doesn’t talk about anymore, but can’t fully shake either. Could her neighbor, Matthew, be a killer? Or is this the beginning of another psychotic episode like the one she suffered back in college, when she became so consumed with proving a fellow student guilty that she ended up hurting a classmate? The more Hen observes Matthew, the more she suspects he’s planning something truly terrifying. Yet no one will believe her. Then one night, when she comes face to face with Matthew in a dark parking lot, she realizes that he knows she’s been watching him, that she’s really on to him. And that this is the beginning of a horrifying nightmare she may not live to escape. . .
