Produktbeschreibung

A novel of survival, obsession, and the darkness we carry.

When Rick Philips survived the unthinkable, a brutal high school shooting, he thought the worst was behind him. Years later, he's still rebuilding: his body repaired with borrowed parts, his spirit held together by stubbornness and regret. Fame as a survivor-turned-author brought fleeting glory... and lingering guilt.

But some scars refuse to stay hidden.

At a crumbling writers' conference, Rick meets Harriet Bristol Wheeler, a captivating, chaotic woman who knows too much about death. After a night of whiskey, violence, and dangerous intimacy, she tells him her secret:

She's a serial killer. And she wants Rick to write her story.

Dragged into Harriet's twisted orbit, Rick is forced to confront the horrors he's run from, and the ones he might yet unleash. As the line blurs between survivor and predator, Rick must decide: is Harriet telling the truth... or is she the devil he's been waiting for?

Raw, razor-sharp, and relentlessly human, Combustible Punch is a dark psychological thriller about trauma, temptation, and the choices that break us... or save us.

Fans of Gillian Flynn, Riley Sager, and Caroline Kepnes will be riveted.
