Description

From the bestselling author of HER and The Social Affair comes a dark, unrelenting psychological thriller where marriage is a battlefield, deception is a weapon, and losing means death.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith meets Dexter.

Jude and Kate are the perfect suburban couple -- at least, that's what they want you to believe.
In reality?

He's a contract killer. She likes to even the score.

Few married couples are as competitive as Jude and Kate. But then, most spouses don't track their arguments with a body count.

Their silent pact to outdo each other begins as a twisted game of skill, survival, and strategy. But as their targets pile up, their deadly competition spirals out of control.

Because when two killers fall in love, there's only one rule:
Stay on top... or die trying.

And if they can't make it work? They're dead in the water.

Dark, sharp-edged, and disturbingly addictive, Dead in the Water is a psychological thriller that transforms marriage into a game of power, deception, and survival. With ruthless twists, relentless tension, and characters as cunning as they are deadly, this is a must-read for fans of psychological suspense, morally gray protagonists, and thrillers where love is the most dangerous weapon of all.
