A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"The kind of hypnotic writer you love to read but can never entirely trust." - Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times

"Fuses weird fiction with psychological suspense... Nightmare imagery, mind-bending plot twists, and a kaleidoscopic storytelling style lend Axat's tale a vertiginous air, but at the core of this literary fever dream lies an elegantly crafted and emotionally resonant mystery that astonishes, devastates, and satisfies in equal measure." --Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Like a game of deadly dominos." - Crime Fiction Lover

"With more twists than a double helix, Kill the Next One is a relentlessly-paced, un-put-downable psychological thriller." -Simon McDonald

"Axat's work is reminiscent of Umberto Eco at his best, though with a morbid underbelly that is entirely its own... Kill the Next One marks the arrival of an astonishing new author on the world stage." - Big Issue

"The brilliant plot keeps you turning the pages." - Listener

"Taut, convincing... An atmospheric thriller enhanced by hints that something odd was going on." - Blue Book Balloon

&quotA dizzying maelstrom of false identities, deception on every level, psychiatric complications worthy of Hitchcock ensue by the bucket load and will leave the reader dizzy, guessing over and over until the end. A stomach-churning achievement." - Maxim Jakubowski, for lovereading.co.uk

"Axat harnesses that uncertainty to build suspense and creates an intriguing, mind-bending thriller in the vein of Dennis Lehane's Shutter Island (2003)." --Booklist

"This psychological thriller is like a serpent eating its tail, weaving a web of questions, thrills, contradicting itself, reinventing itself... A dizzying maelstrom of false identities, deception on every level, psychiatric complications worthy of Hitchcock ensue by the bucket load and will leave the reader dizzy, guessing over and over until the end. A stomach-churning achievement." - Lovereading

"I can promise you it's like nothing you've read before. So twisty I was dizzy." - Damp Pebbles

"Made up of four parts, as Kill the Next One moves from one section to the next, it pulls from beneath you any presumption you might have about where its story was headed." - Bookbag

"Excellent thriller that keeps you guessing until the end. Expect it to end up being a different story to one you expect though... I've been after a good thriller and this certainly fit the bill!" - Chris Bertenshaw, for lovereading.co.uk

" 'This is going to be one of those books that you just have to read. Move over Gone Girl and Girl On The Train." - Humaira, for lovereading.co.uk

" I think this is a great psychological thriller in which you often have no idea what is coming next. It's very readable and enjoyable. I would recommend it." - Susan Wallace, for lovereading.co.uk

" A perfectly paced thriller. Just when you think you are working it out the roller coaster takes off in another nightmarish direction." - Neil Beattie, for lovereading.co.uk

"Not your typical thriller...A well written, perfectly put together thriller. Not what I expected but better than I anticipated which is always the best possible result." --Laura Gardner, for lovereading.co.uk

Présentation de l'éditeur

*LONGLISTED FOR CWA IAN FLEMING STEEL DAGGER*
AN AUDACIOUS PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER WHERE NOTHING IS AS IT SEEMS

Ted McKay had it all: a beautiful wife, two daughters, a high-paying job. But after being diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour he finds himself with a gun to his temple, ready to pull the trigger.

Then the doorbell rings.

A stranger makes him a proposition: why not kill two deserving men before dying? The first target is a criminal, and the second is a man with terminal cancer who, like Ted, wants to die. After executing these kills, Ted will become someone else's next target, like a kind of suicidal daisy chain.

Ted understands the stranger's logic: it's easier for a victim's family to deal with a murder than with a suicide. However, after killing his targets, Ted's reality begins to unravel. KILL THE NEXT ONE is an immersive psychological thriller from an exciting new voice.
