Mystery | Thriller
Ever have a moment you wish you could undo? A wickedly
brilliant tale of revenge, mystery, and fate, Antony
Moore’s The Swap is at once a gripping thriller and a
hilarious black comedy—a book for anyone who’s ever
wondered what could have been. . . . Harvey Briscow—smoker, drinker, comic-shop owner—is facing
another school reunion back in Cornwall. Having spent the
last two decades second-guessing himself, Harvey isn’t
thrilled at the prospect of showing his classmates the mess
he’s made of his life. But this is Harvey’s twentieth
reunion, a milestone that all but guarantees that
Charles “Bleeder” Odd—the freakish reject who made off with
Harvey’s now-priceless Superman One comic in a school-yard
swap—will be in attendance. But when Harvey returns to Cornwall, hoping to retrieve his
comic, he’s met with more than a few surprises. . . .
Bleeder is now dazzlingly successful—and quite content to
watch Harvey squirm, refusing to acknowledge their long-ago
trade. And Harvey—fueled by drink and the promise of a
beautiful woman—soon makes a fateful choice, one he
instantly wishes he could undo. A dead body and an enraged
husband further complicate matters . . . but there’s a
silver lining in this strange chain of events: suddenly one
bad swap is the least of Harvey’s regrets. . . .
