Name: Nine Lives
Author: Peter Swanson

Nine unknown individuals receive a single sheet of paper listing their names, seemingly at random. They dismiss the note as junk mail until a series of violent murders and attacks begin to take place. The victims range from a beloved oncology nurse to an aspiring actor, spanning lives in Kennewick, Maine, suburban Massachusetts, and beyond. FBI Agent Jessica Winslow, herself named on the list, becomes determined to find the truth behind the killings. Each new victim’s death hints at a pattern that could either signify a shared secret binding them or the work of a deranged killer. With each subsequent murder, the remaining members of the list live in constant fear, knowing that the next name could be crossed off as well.
