Nine strangers with practically nothing in common receive a list with their names on it in the mail. They dismiss it as junk mail, until very, very bad things begin happening to people on the list. FBI agent Jessica Winslow, who is on the list herself, is determined to find out why. As the mysterious sender stalks these nine strangers, they find themselves constantly looking over their shoulders, wondering who will be crossed off next. "With economical strokes of his pen, Peter Swanson presents us with a clever homage to the Golden Age of Mystery and keeps us guessing right to the end." —Peter May
