Synopsis "Kill the Next one "

In this audacious psychological thriller where nothing is what it seems, a man facing death makes a life-changing choice that puts him--and the people he loves--in serious trouble. Ted McKay had it all: a beautiful wife, two daughters, a high-paying job. But after being diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor 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, as Ted commits the murders, the crime scenes strike him as odd. The targets know him by name and possess familiar mementos. Even more bizarrely, Ted recognizes locations and men he shouldn't know. As Ted's mind begins to crack, dark secrets from his past seep through the fissures. Kill the Next One is an immersive psychological thriller from an exciting new voice.

Es ingeniero de profesión, pero su interés y vocación lo han llevado a dedicarse también a la escritura. Su obra se caracteriza por altas dosis de suspenso, giros narrativos sorprendentes y unos finales siempre inesperados. Es autor deBenjamin (2010) y El pantano de las mariposas (Destino, 2013). La última salidaes su novela más reciente, y ha despertado tal entusiasmo que, incluso antes de su publicación en castellano, por ahora ya son 26 las editoriales de todo el mundo que han adquirido los derechos de traducción. Próximamente será llevada al cine en una gran producción de Hollywood.
