"Welcome to the neighborhood!" Mrs. Thompson beams, waving from across the street. I wave back, all smiles. But when Jude steps into view, her face goes stiff. I can't help but laugh to myself. We've always had that effect on people.

Jude and I are the perfect couple on the outside -- charming, competitive, and never ones to cause a scene. Unless, of course, we're keeping score. You see, Jude's a contract killer, and I've got my own ways of settling things. It's not just a marriage -- it's a game.

This time, it's a silent bet: who can keep up appearances the best? Our perfect new house in the middle of suburbia is the ideal playing field. He hides his body count; I cover mine with a smile. But the longer we're here, the more Jude pushes his luck, and the more I start to wonder: who's really winning?

When the Thompsons invite us over for dinner, I make sure to bring dessert -- just in case things get messy. Because with Jude and me, there's always a chance for a sudden twist, especially when ambition and love collide.

Dead in the Water is a darkly humorous psychological thriller about two killers in love who are equally committed to their vows... and their competition. Perfect for fans of Dexter and Mr. & Mrs. Smith, this novel will have you racing toward the final, explosive twist.
