If you're on the list you're marked for death.

The envelope is unremarkable. There is no return address. It contains a single, folded, sheet of white paper.

The envelope drops through the mail slot like any other piece of post. But for the nine complete strangers who receive it - each of them recognising just one name, their own, on the enclosed list - it will be the most life altering letter they ever receive. It could also be the last, as one by one, they start to meet their end.

But why?
 
 

Review

I loved this, Swanson's sharp and insightful characterization brought to life a fascinating premise, beautifully worked out. -- Ann Cleeves

So beautifully written, so gripping, so perfect. And the last line.soooo clever! -- Sophie Hannah

With economical strokes of his pen, Peter Swanson presents us with a clever homage to the Golden Age of Mystery which keeps you guessing right to the end. -- Peter May

Swanson again takes the idea of fiction as homage to deliriously vertiginous new heights ... Old-school mystery, certainly, but delivered with a wonderful new-school sensibility. - Booklist, starred review

Book Description
