Suspense
An international sensation that The Wall Street
Journal called a “publishing phenomenon,” this layered,
poignant, and chilling novel of psychological suspense is
the year’s most stunning American fiction debut. From its
wrenching opening to its shocking climax, Beautiful
Malice unfolds a haunting story in which people,
motives, and circumstances are never what they
seem.
Who is Katherine Patterson? It is a question
she hopes no one can answer. To erase her past, Katherine
has moved to a new city, enrolled in a new school, and even
changed her name. She’s done the next best thing to
disappearing altogether. Now, wary and alone, she seeks
nothing more than anonymity. What she finds instead is the
last thing she expected: a friend.
Even more
unlikely, Katherine’s new friend is the most popular and
magnetic girl in school. Extroverted, gorgeous, flirtatious,
and unpredictable, she is everything that Katherine is not
and doesn’t want to be: the center of attention. Yet Alice’s
enthusiasm is infectious, her candor sometimes unsettling,
and Katherine, in spite of her guarded caution, finds
herself drawn into Alice’s private circle.
But Alice
has secrets, too—darker than anyone can begin to imagine.
And when she lets her guard down at last, Katherine
discovers the darkest of them all. For there will be no
escaping the past for Katherine Patterson—only a descent
into a trap far more sinister . . . and infinitely more
seductive.
