Already optioned for film, The Girl with a Clock for a Heart
is Peter Swanson’s electrifying tale of romantic noir, with
shades of Hitchcock and reminiscent of the classic movie
Body Heat. It is the story of a man swept into a vortex of
irresistible passion and murder when an old love
mysteriously reappears.
On an ordinary Friday evening at his favorite Boston tavern,
George Foss’s comfortable, predictable life is shattered
when a beautiful woman sits down at the bar, a woman who
vanished without a trace twenty years ago.
Liana Dector isn’t just an ex-girlfriend, the first love
George couldn’t quite forget. She’s also a dangerous enigma
and quite possibly a cold-blooded killer wanted by the
police. Suddenly, she’s back—and she needs George’s help.
Ruthless men believe she stole some money . . . and they
will do whatever it takes to get it back.
George knows Liana is trouble. But he can’t say no—he never
could—so he makes a choice that will plunge him into a
terrifying whirlpool of lies, secrets, betrayal, and murder
from which there is no sure escape.
Bold and masterful, full of malicious foreboding and subtle
surprises, The Girl with a Clock for a Heart is an
addictive, nonstop thriller—an ever-tightening coil of
suspense that grips you right up to its electrifying end.
