The Kind Worth Saving

A private eye begins to investigate a possibly adulterous husband in this incredibly cunning book by New York Times bestselling author Peter Swanson—which features the astute and nuanced Lily Kintner from his critically acclaimed novel, The Kind Worth Killing—but he has no idea that the twisted trail will ultimately lead back to the woman who hired him.

Joan has always had a hint of menace about her. Henry Kimball, a private investigator, is thus uneasy when she shows up at his office demanding that he look into her husband. Even the sight of her evokes a spooky memory: he was at the heart of a tragedy when he was a high school English teacher and knew Joan.

Joan now wants his assistance to demonstrate her husband's infidelity. However, Kimball discovers two deaths in an abandoned suburban house with a "for sale" sign outside, complicating what should be a straightforward case of adultery. Henry had to go back in time to one of his worst days in order to find out why it seems like the past is repeating itself.

Is it feasible that Joan had knowledge of that day that she has been hiding for all these years? Is there a murderer out there who thinks they've got away with killing people? Henry is adamant on learning the truth, but as he approaches the scene, a killer is drawing nearer, and in this terrifying game of cat and mouse, only one of them will make it out alive.
