Sequel to: The kind worth killing.

"When a private eye starts to follow a possibly adulterous husband, little does he know that the twisted trail will lead back to the woman who hired him-in this spectacularly devious new novel by Peter Swanson featuring characters from his acclaimed novel The Kind Worth Killing"--

When Joan turns up at private investigator Henry Kimball's office asking him to investigate her husband, he can't help feeling ill at ease. He knew Joan in his previous life as a high school English teacher, when he was at the center of a tragedy. Joan wants his help to prove her husband is cheating, but what should be a simple case becomes complicated when Kimball finds two bodies in an uninhabited suburban home. It feels like the past is repeating itself. As Kimball steps closer to the truth, a murder is getting closer to him-- and only one will survive. -- adapted from jacket
