Nine Lives

Peter Swanson Faber £12.99

A smart, contemporary reworking of one of crime fiction’s most cherished plots:

Agatha Christie’s

And Then There Were None. Nine apparently random Americans receive a list with their names on it. Swanson lets us get to know them, then a killer starts picking them off one by one. But why? Among the nine is FBI agent Jessica Winslow. Can she figure out the hidden connection before it’s her turn? A ruthlessly compelling thriller.
