They say every house has its secrets, and the house that Maggie and Nina have shared for so long is no different. Except that these secrets are not buried in the past.

Every other night, Maggie and Nina have dinner together. When they are finished, Nina helps Maggie back to her room in the attic, and into the heavy chain that keeps her there. Because Maggie has done things to Nina that can’t ever be forgiven, and now she is paying the price.

But there are many things about the past that Nina doesn’t know, and Maggie is going to keep it that way—even if it kills her

Because in this house, the truth is more dangerous than lies.

John Marrs

John Marrs is the British author whose books grip readers by the throat and never let go. Known for his psychological thrillers and speculative fiction, he explores the unpredictable intersection of technology, ethics, and the human psyche. His narratives are populated by flawed characters navigating the dangerous waters of modern life, with the technology meant to serve us often becoming our greatest adversary.

Before finding his voice as a novelist, Marrs spent over two decades as a freelance journalist, writing for prominent publications like The Guardian, Empire, and HuffPost. This experience in storytelling—where every word counts and every detail matters—shaped his tight, suspenseful prose that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. His debut novel, When You Disappeared (originally The Wronged Sons), laid the foundation for his later work, setting the stage for the twist-filled narratives that have become his signature.

However, it was The One, a speculative thriller about a DNA test that promises to match you with your perfect partner, that truly catapulted him into the spotlight. This book not only became a #1 bestseller but also sparked the imagination of viewers worldwide with its Netflix adaptation. Marrs' exploration of love, fate, and the potentially dangerous outcomes of technology is a recurring theme in his works, including The Passengers, What Lies Between Us, and The Minders. Each novel is a deep dive into human desires and the shadows lurking behind them.

Marrs’ books have been translated into numerous languages, reaching an international audience captivated by his clever plots and complex characters. His work is not just about keeping you guessing—it’s about challenging you to think, to question what’s real, and to ponder how much control we truly have over our own lives.

His novel, You Killed Me First, promises to continue his tradition of exploring the darker side of human nature with a fresh, captivating perspective. Marrs' books are a testament to his ability to blend tension, character-driven narratives, and thought-provoking questions about the future of humanity. Whether you’re new to his work or a longtime fan, one thing is clear: John Marrs knows how to tell a story that stays with you long after the final page is turned.
