Identify theft turns to murder in this "twisting, suspenseful chiller of a book" from the author of Desperate (William Landay, New York Times–bestselling author).
The future looks bright for Boston couple John Bodine and Ruby Dawes. John's online gaming business is growing, and they're planning a family. But when Ruby receives a life-changing diagnosis, and their insurance won't cover her treatment, John makes a risky move. He steals a customer's identity and files a false medical claim. It works perfectly—until the customer contacts John with a startling proposition . . .
If John and Ruby play a little game he's devised, he won't report their fraud. The rules of "Criminal" are simple: commit real crimes. But if they fail, there will be fatal consequences. John assumes it's a sick joke—until people start dying. Now John and Ruby can't disappear—and they can't go to the police. Their only option is to keep playing, while trying to outwit a psychopath who has no intention of letting them leave this game alive.
"Tight, twisty and terrific, it further establishes Palmer as a force to be reckoned with." —The Providence Journal
"Unrelentingly suspenseful." —Publishers Weekly
