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",7,320,[100],{"id":101,"slug":102,"name":103},"01kkfjhddrz67f4y79e301r8ey","peter-swanson-tbik","Peter Swanson",[105,106,110,114,118,122],{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":18},{"id":107,"name":108,"slug":109,"is_fiction":18},5,"Thriller","thriller",{"id":111,"name":112,"slug":113,"is_fiction":18},6,"Mystery","mystery",{"id":115,"name":116,"slug":117,"is_fiction":18},40,"Suspense","suspense",{"id":119,"name":120,"slug":121,"is_fiction":18},41,"Psychological Thriller","psychological-thriller",{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":18},[124],{"id":125,"slug":126,"name":127,"position":128,"is_main_entry":18,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kkfjhdfa77fzhmx6sgxzkza2","henry-kimballlily-kintner-zm8g","Henry Kimball\u002FLily Kintner","1.00",{"pace":67,"complexity":7,"audience":70,"mood":130,"themes":132,"setting_period":7,"summary":92,"content_warnings":7},[72,73,131,74],"mysterious",[133,134,76],"unreliable-narrator","multiple-povs",{"id":136,"slug":137,"title":138,"description":139,"primary_cover_url":140,"cover_blurhash":141,"first_publish_year":142,"community_rating_avg":143,"community_rating_count":84,"page_count":144,"authors":145,"genres":150,"series":165,"enrichment":166},"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 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.

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,[449],{"id":450,"slug":451,"name":452},"01kjsvfaz4r7r5gcf7x7mqvzne","r-f-kuang-avk9","R.
