About This Book

From P.D. James, the undisputed "Queen of Crime,", comes a dark, twisted take on how the best revenge is served ice cold.

"[The mystery] genre's most talented practitioner ever." —The New York Times


Willing to wait decades to dispatch the bully who tormented his youth, our narrator has a plan—and the unwavering patience and brutal fortitude to enact its every chilling step. With merciless, meticulous efficiency, James takes us into the mind of a seemingly ordinary man, beneath whose unassuming guise lurks a true Machiavellian genius—for murder.
