About the Book
Already optioned for film, The Girl with a Clock for a Heart is Peter Swanson’s electrifying tale of romantic noir, with shades of Hitchcock and reminiscent of the classic movie Body Heat. It is the story of a man swept into a vortex of irresistible passion and murder when an old love mysteriously reappears.
On an ordinary Friday evening at
his favorite Boston tavern, George Foss’s comfortable, predictable life
is shattered when a beautiful woman sits down at the bar, a woman who
vanished without a trace twenty years ago.
Liana Dector isn’t just an
ex-girlfriend, the first love George couldn’t quite forget. She’s also a
dangerous enigma and quite possibly a cold-blooded killer wanted by the
police. Suddenly, she’s back—and she needs George’s help. Ruthless men
believe she stole some money . . . and they will do whatever it takes to
get it back.
George knows Liana is trouble.
But he can’t say no—he never could—so he makes a choice that will plunge
him into a terrifying whirlpool of lies, secrets, betrayal, and murder
from which there is no sure escape.
Bold and masterful, full of malicious foreboding and subtle surprises, The Girl with a Clock for a Heart is an addictive, nonstop thriller—an ever-tightening coil of suspense that grips you right up to its electrifying end.
