书籍简介

“你好”。

在希思罗机场的商务舱休息厅里，我看着我旁边吧台空座位上那只苍白、布满雀斑的手，然后抬头看着那陌生人的脸。

“我认识你吗?”

特德·塞弗森在伦敦被耽搁了，他在机场酒吧遇见了一个女人。喝着鸡尾酒，他们告诉了对方很多不该告诉的事情，并酝酿了一个黑暗的计划——但是他们中的任何一个人是认真的吗?他们真的会这么做吗?如果他们真的这么做了，他们侥幸逃脱的机会有多大?

在波士顿，泰德的妻子米兰达正忙着管理他们的梦想之家的建设，那是一幢位于缅因州海岸线上的漂亮房子。但是她有什么秘密，为了保护她应得的未来，她会做些什么呢?

这是一部情节高尚的关于信任和背叛的小说，值得一看的那种，会让你沉迷其中，一直猜测到深夜。

'Hello there.'

I looked at the pale, freckled hand on the back of the empty bar seat next to me in the business class lounge of Heathrow airport, then up into the stranger's face.

'Do I know you?'

Delayed in London, Ted Severson meets a woman at the airport bar. Over cocktails they tell each other rather more than they should, and a dark plan is hatched - but are either of them being serious, could they actually go through with it and, if they did, what would be their chances of getting away with it?

Back in Boston, Ted's wife Miranda is busy site managing the construction of their dream home, a beautiful house out on the Maine coastline. But what secrets is she carrying and to what lengths might she go to protect the vision she has of her deserved future?

A sublimely plotted novel of trust and betrayal, The Kind Worth Killing will keep you gripped and guessing late into the night.

作者简介

彼得·斯旺森的处女作《心有时钟的女孩》被丹尼斯·勒翰描述为“一部曲折、性感、刺激的小说”，在《观察家报》上“很难不一口气读完”。他与妻子和猫住在马萨诸塞州的萨默维尔。

Peter Swanson's debut novel, The Girl With a Clock for a Heart (2014), was described by Dennis Lehane as 'a twisty, sexy, electric thrill ride' and in the Observer as 'very hard not to read in one sitting'. He lives with his wife and cat in Somerville, Massachusetts.
