A Novel
by Riley Sager
One train. No stops. A deadly game of survival and revenge.
In 1942, six people destroyed Anna Matheson's family. Twelve years later, she's ready for retribution.
Under false pretenses, Anna has lured those responsible for her family's downfall onto a luxury train from Philadelphia to Chicago, an overnight journey of thirteen hours. Her goal? Confront the people who've wronged her, get them to confess their crimes, and deliver them into the hands of authorities waiting at the end of the line. Justice will at last be served.
But Anna's plan is quickly derailed by the murder of one of the passengers. As the train barrels through the night, it becomes clear that someone else on board is enacting their own form of revenge—and that they won't stop until everyone else is dead.
With time running out before the train reaches its destination, Anna is forced to hunt the killer in their midst while protecting the people she hates the most. In order to destroy her enemies, she must first save them—even though it means putting her own life at risk.

"Murder aboard a luxury train gets a fresh spin in this ultratwisty historical thriller...For readers seeking a page-turner with a kick-ass female protagonist, this punches the ticket." —Publishers Weekly
"Sager knows how to tell a good story that keeps us guessing." —Washington Post
"At the top of his game. Sager delivers a thriller so tautly written, so tightly constructed, that readers will emerge from the book breathless and in a mild state of shock. With this book, Sager has committed an act of brilliance." —Booklist
"The pacing is relentless, the plotting Agatha Christie-esque and the cinematic feel is worthy of an Alfred Hitchcock." —BookPage
"With a Vengeance is a locked room thriller at its best! Nonstop suspense with twists and turns that will leave your head spinning!" —#1 New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden
"A clever and fun mashup of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None and Murder on the Orient Express. Sager wields a deft hand in bringing all the elements together into a rip-roaring, tension-filled tale of greed, murder, and revenge. Enjoy the ride on the Phoenix." —David Baldacci, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Strangers in Time
