Description
Perfect for fans of The Collective and We Begin at the End, this psychological thriller will make you question the nature of justice... and revenge. The ten worst people in New York are dying, one after the other. A late-night TV chat show feature, The Ten Worst People in New York, is the talk of the town. When a real estate mogul on the Ten Worst list jumps to his death, it could be a coincidence. But after a corrupt NYC councilor, also on the list, dies suspiciously, recently widowed Special FBI Agent Alex Bedford suspects foul play. Young British filmmaker Jacob Felle arrives in New York to connect with his estranged sister, Elizabeth, and to reconcile a long-buried family trauma. But Alex and Jacob are on a collision course, and when Jacob becomes a suspect, the two find themselves in a race to unravel the mystery before even more people die. Both Alex and Jacob must confront their worst fears and put their lives on the line as they try to find the answer to two key questions: Why are the killers targeting the Ten Worst list? And who will be next to die?

Praise for The Ten Worst People in New York
"Indulge your fantasies of wishing some of your favorite villains dead, trusting that all will be well in the end."
--Kirkus "A fantastic debut - fast, fluent and gripping from the get-go. This guy is the real deal."
--Lee Child "Well-written and plotted debut novel, with lots of twists and turns that come fast and furious."
--Red Carpet Crash "As exciting and unpredictable as the city it's set in, The Ten Worst People in New York is a rapid-fire thriller laced with razor-sharp social satire. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough."
--Alison Gaylin, USA Today bestselling author of We Are Watching "A twisty shocker and crackling debut from a fresh voice in crime thrillers, Matt Plass puts a torch to the genre's tropes with The Ten Worst People in New York. I'm bonkers for it."
--Chris Hauty, national bestselling author of The Devil You Know "With the premise of killing off the ten worst people in New York, Matt Plass creates a story that is equal parts horrifying and witty. Add to that an estranged brother and sister caught in the web and an FBI agent with a lot to lose, and you have a grade-A page-turner, masterfully told, stylishly written and with a moral compass. I could not stop reading!"
--Jonathan Santlofer, bestselling author of The Last Mona Lisa and The Lost Van Gogh
