Here is the Bookshare long synopsis:
Long Synopsis:
A dark and devious literary suspense novel about a random encounter, sex,
and a conversation that quickly turns to murder--a modern reimagining of
Patricia Highsmith's classic Strangers on a Train--from the author of the
acclaimed The Girl with a Clock for a HeartOn a late flight from London to
Boston, Ted Severson meets the stunning and mysterious Lily Kintner. Over
one too many martinis, the two strangers play a game, one in which they
begin revealing more and more intimate details about themselves. Ted talks
about his wife, Miranda--how his marriage has gone stale, how a week ago he
caught her in a serious betrayal. . . . Maybe they were a mismatch from the
start, he the rich businessman, she the beautiful artist. But what begins as
playful banter between Ted and Lily takes a swift turn when Ted claims,
half-seriously, that he would like to kill his wife for what she's done.
Then Lily surprises him by saying that she'd like to help. After all,
everyone dies, what difference does it make if a few bad apples get pushed
along a little sooner than life intended?Back in Boston, Ted and Lily forge
an unusual bond and talk about the ways Ted might get out of his marriage.
But Lily has her own dark history she's not sharing with Ted, a legacy of
murder that stems from childhood. And Ted is keeping something from Lily as
well--so as they move their plan forward, his motivation becomes less about
getting Miranda out of his life and more about getting Lily into it. But as
Ted begins to fall in love with Lily, he grows anxious about any unseen
holes in their scheme that could give them away. And suddenly the two are
pulled into a very lethal game of cat and mouse, one in which there may be
more than one loser and more than one of them left dead when it's all over.
