One of the brightest high-tension debuts of 2019. One of the most explosive premises of the decade. The murder-hunt pace knocks you off your feet. Delargy introduced the world not only to his breathtaking talent, but also to an entire uncharted thriller continent—Australia. Film rights for the novel were purchased by the company of the cult director and producer Jerry Zucker, creator of “The Ghost” starring Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore. A police station in the Australian backwoods. Sergeant Chandler Jenkins receives a blood-covered, terrified visitor named Gabriel—dead on the spot. He has just escaped the clutches of a cruel madman. Someone named Heath wants to make him his 55th victim. Heath is a serial killer. And he must be caught immediately.
But there’s no need. Here he is—showing up in the very same station—and tells, word for word, down to the smallest details, the same story of a miraculous rescue. Only in his version, he is the victim, and Gabriel is the serial killer. Both are willing to do anything to prove their version. But only one can speak the truth… right?
