Kind Worth Killing","On a delayed flight from London to Boston, Ted Severson strikes up a drink-fueled conversation with an elegant stranger named Lily. Loosened by cocktails and a wound he can't stop pressing, Ted admits that his wife is cheating on him — and that, some nights, he thinks he could kill her for it. To his surprise, Lily doesn't flinch. She calmly agrees that some people simply deserve to die, and offers to help him do it.\n\nWhat starts as an abstract game between two strangers becomes a meticulous plan, and then something far more dangerous. Because Lily is not a bored socialite indulging a fantasy. She has killed before, she has her own reasons for everything she does, and the tidy scheme she and Ted are building has more moving parts — and more hidden players — than either of them will admit.\n\nA modern homage to Patricia Highsmith, Peter Swanson's The Kind Worth Killing is a coiled psychological thriller told through shifting, unreliable points of view. Every chapter recalibrates who is manipulating whom, building toward a game of murder in which trusting the wrong person is the only truly fatal mistake.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkfjhddwa1yebkm9bhnc9tck.jpg","LH9aT,_L?t%L_M?v.7xtOukso$s:",2015,"3.86",320,[179],{"id":180,"slug":181,"name":182},"01kkfjhddrz67f4y79e301r8ey","peter-swanson-tbik","Peter Swanson",[184,185,189,193,197,201],{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":20},{"id":186,"name":187,"slug":188,"is_fiction":20},5,"Thriller","thriller",{"id":190,"name":191,"slug":192,"is_fiction":20},6,"Mystery","mystery",{"id":194,"name":195,"slug":196,"is_fiction":20},40,"Suspense","suspense",{"id":198,"name":199,"slug":200,"is_fiction":20},41,"Psychological Thriller","psychological-thriller",{"id":38,"name":39,"slug":40,"is_fiction":20},[203],{"id":204,"slug":205,"name":206,"position":207,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kkfjhdfa77fzhmx6sgxzkza2","henry-kimballlily-kintner-zm8g","Henry Kimball\u002FLily Kintner","1.00",{"pace":209,"complexity":7,"audience":153,"mood":210,"themes":214,"setting_period":7,"summary":172,"content_warnings":7},"fast",[211,155,212,213],"dark","mysterious","gritty",[215,216,158],"unreliable-narrator","multiple-povs",{"id":218,"slug":219,"title":220,"description":221,"primary_cover_url":222,"cover_blurhash":223,"first_publish_year":224,"community_rating_avg":225,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":226,"authors":227,"genres":232,"series":247,"enrichment":248},"01kjsvtdccmjnr64d58fhe30m8","the-maltese-falcon-utmu","The Maltese Falcon","In this classic noir, private detective Sam Spade gets tangled in a dangerous hunt for a priceless statuette.

The job sounds simple: deal with a bookseller who is blackmailing the general over his younger daughter, Carmen. But almost as soon as Marlowe takes the case, bodies begin to turn up, and the tidy blackmail scheme unravels into a tangle of pornography, gambling, missing persons, and murder.\n\nMoving through a rain-slicked, corrupt Los Angeles, Marlowe follows the case wherever it leads, trading wisecracks with cops and criminals alike and holding to his own battered code in a world where almost no one else has one. The plot twists back on itself, but the real pleasure is the voice: hard, funny, and unexpectedly lyrical.\n\nThe Big Sleep was Raymond Chandler's first novel and the debut of Philip Marlowe, one of the most influential characters in crime fiction. A cornerstone of the hardboiled and noir traditions, it helped define the American detective story.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kjrb6cy9pphry99gfsbhk44s.jpg","LJF~{S^lEeR5O:bt?txby;?bsC56",1939,"3.50",2,184,[263],{"id":264,"slug":265,"name":266},"01kjrb6czv849vqj5t4cdpsy11","raymond-chandler-qjkl","Raymond Chandler",[268,269,270,271,272,273],{"id":89,"name":240,"slug":241,"is_fiction":20},{"id":190,"name":191,"slug":192,"is_fiction":20},{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":20},{"id":236,"name":237,"slug":238,"is_fiction":20},{"id":243,"name":244,"slug":245,"is_fiction":20},{"id":38,"name":39,"slug":40,"is_fiction":20},[275],{"id":276,"slug":277,"name":278,"position":207,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjt6ykn48qe45as8qqnv8hb8","philip-marlowe-bck7","Philip Marlowe",{"pace":150,"complexity":7,"audience":153,"mood":280,"themes":281,"setting_period":7,"summary":282,"content_warnings":7},[211,213,156,155,212],[],"Private eye Philip Marlowe takes a simple blackmail job for a dying millionaire and his two wild daughters, only to sink into a Los Angeles underworld of pornography, gambling, and murder.

Kuang's Babel, or the Necessity of Violence is set in an alternate 1830s Britain where the Empire's power runs on silver-working: bars of silver inscribed with matched words from two languages, engraved by trained translators to capture the meaning that is inevitably lost between them. The stronger a nation's languages and translators, the more powerful its silver — and Britain, hoarding the world's best linguists at Oxford's Royal Institute of Translation, is the most powerful nation on Earth.\n\nRobin Swift is orphaned by cholera in Canton and brought to London by Professor Richard Lovell, who spends years drilling him in classical and Chinese languages for a single purpose: Babel. There Robin finds camaraderie with three other outsiders — Ramy, a Muslim student from Calcutta; Victoire, a Haitian woman fighting to be taken seriously; and Letty, the English daughter of a naval officer — all of whom owe their place at Oxford to skills the Empire needs and does not fully respect.\n\nAs Robin is drawn deeper into Babel's work, he learns how directly the silver industry is entangled with the opium trade Britain is forcing on China, and encounters the Hermes Society, a shadowy group of dissidents working from inside the institute to sabotage the Empire's magic. The novel builds toward the question its subtitle poses directly: whether an unjust system this deeply entrenched can be reformed from within, or whether change of any real magnitude requires violence.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fcontributions\u002Fwork\u002F01\u002F01kvnzw5cd9pzjkqezwdzn9csq_6a3920a8a0cb8.jpg?v=d19269411c",2022,545,[525],{"id":526,"slug":527,"name":528},"01kjsvfaz4r7r5gcf7x7mqvzne","r-f-kuang-avk9","R.

Named one of the Best Books of May by Marie Claire, Town & Country, Refinery29, Cosmopolitan, Woman's Day, Bustle, CrimeReads, and O, the Oprah Magazine One of them has it all. One of them wants it all. But they can't both win. Stella and Violet are best friends, and from the moment they met in college, they knew their roles. Beautiful, privileged, and reckless Stella lives in the spotlight. Hardworking, laser-focused Violet stays behind the scenes, always ready to clean up the mess that Stella inevitably leaves in her wake. After graduation, Violet moves to New York and lands a job in cable news, where she works her way up from intern to assistant to producer, and to a life where she's finally free from Stella's shadow. In this fast-paced world, Violet thrives, and her ambitions grow -- but everything is jeopardized when Stella, envious of Violet's new life, uses her connections, beauty, and charisma to get hired at the same network. Stella soon moves in front of the camera, becoming the public face of the stories that Violet has worked tirelessly to produce -- and taking all the credit. Stella might be the one with the rich family and the right friends, but Violet isn't giving up so easily. As she and Stella strive for success, each reveals just how far she'll go to get what she wants -- even if it means destroying the other person along the way.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kxf2tfdrn4rn1twgj8x4bph8.jpg?v=682c687bdd","LAH+Ly1v0{}E00xaB.#l0|NZJ%ae",344,[979],{"id":980,"slug":981,"name":982},"01kxf2tfddqjx7s8ng4hkr8ayb","anna-pitoniak-p0ys","Anna Pitoniak",[984,985,986,987,988,989],{"id":198,"name":199,"slug":200,"is_fiction":20},{"id":625,"name":626,"slug":627,"is_fiction":20},{"id":186,"name":187,"slug":188,"is_fiction":20},{"id":194,"name":195,"slug":196,"is_fiction":20},{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":20},{"id":38,"name":39,"slug":40,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":209,"complexity":7,"audience":153,"mood":992,"themes":993,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[155,211,212],[215,159],{"id":995,"slug":996,"title":997,"description":998,"primary_cover_url":999,"cover_blurhash":1000,"first_publish_year":9,"community_rating_avg":225,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":1001,"authors":1002,"genres":1007,"series":1027,"enrichment":1036},"01kxks097486hbw3j0p8p120h8","infinity-countdown-2zro","Infinity Countdown #3","Infinity Countdown #3 (2018) is a chapter in Gerry Duggan's Marvel cosmic saga that reassembles the scattered Infinity Stones and sets the stage for the Infinity Wars event.

This is the account of his final days. In 2014, Jack Sparks - the controversial pop culture journalist - died in mysterious circumstances. To his fans, Jack was a fearless rebel; to his detractors he was a talentless hack. Either way, his death came as a shock to everyone. It was no secret that Jack had been researching the occult for his new book. He'd already triggered a furious Twitter storm by mocking an exorcism he witnessed in rural Italy.
