TWO'S COMPANY, THREE'S MURDER
'I loved it!' GILLIAN McALLISTER
'Nobody writes psychopaths like Swanson.' MARK EDWARDS
When private detective and former cop Henry Kimball is hired to investigate a cheating husband, he senses all is not quite what it seems, and before he knows it, he's gotten far too close to the other woman.
As the case rapidly becomes ever more dangerous, he's forced to turn to the only person he can trust, the sociopathic Lily Kintner, the woman who once stabbed him, but with whom he shares a peculiar bond.
'Swanson has made me fall in love with plot twists again.' DOUG JOHNSTONE
