THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT.
New York Times bestselling author Stephen White has written a new breed of thriller. Throw out everything you think you know about twists, turns, and surprises.
Get ready for the next big thing.
Get ready to meet the Death Angels.
We've all been there. A loved one or a dear friend becomes desperately ill or is tragically injured. Someone maybe even you says, 'If that ever happens to me, I wish someone would just . . . kill me.'
What if you could choose when to die?
But once you decide, you can't change your mind.
Ever.
No matter what.
Welcome to the next step in the evolution of suspense fiction, to an in-your-face/what-would-you-do? topical thriller. Kill Me is a brilliantly conceived roller-coaster ride that zeros in on some of the most contentious issues of our time, the human yearning for connection between the choices we make about our lives and deaths.
Intelligent and relentlessly paced, Kill Me is the smart kind of read that fans have come to expect from Stephen White. Kill Me brings Alan Gregory face-to-face with the most challenging case of his career. As always, White's characters are indelible and the dialogue is dead-on, but Kill Me is fresh and thought provoking in a way that's so uncommon in crime fiction. Kill Me delivers on all the promise of White's earlier work and then raises the bar in an unforgettably inventive tale of life and death. This is the book that you won't be able to put down, but more to the point, this is the book that won't go away after readers have raced to the last page. Readers will be asking each other: 'What would you do?' 'If you could sign up really would you?'
Raves for KILL ME:
Michael Connelly says:
'Stephen White has always been a rock solid writer. But this book should turn heads. Big, provocative, and downright gripping, this is his best yet.'
Jeffery Deaver says:
'Kill Me is that rarest of creations a thinking person's thriller. In this age of the same-old, same-old fiction, White's novel stands dizzyingly above the pack. The concept is unique (and brilliant), the writing is sharp, observant, and wry (White's trademark), and every page of this compelling tale is filled with perfectly realized human emotion about life, death, and family. Superb.'
