A Penny for the Hangman: A Thriller

A Penny for the Hangman: A Thriller

In Tom Savageâ€™s chilling novel of suspense, an ambitious reporter is beckoned to an island paradise for the story of a lifetime. But this scoop might just be the death of her.
Â
Fifty years ago, on the Caribbean island of St. Thomas, two teenagers born to privilege were convicted of slaughtering their parents in cold blood. Today the men are free and a Hollywood movie has been made about the murders. For Karen Tyler, an eager New York journalist, the case is irresistible. She has been invited to the Virgin Islands for an interview thatâ€™s too good to pass up . . . and sounds too good to be true.
Â
Karen packs her bikini and her digital recorder and follows an ingeniously designed trail that leads her to a wealthy, mysterious figure. The man claims to be one of the notorious boys, but Karen soon learns that all is not as it seems. On this isolated utopia of sun and surf, a young reporter far from home fights for the truthâ€”and for her life. Because the shocking secret behind the infamous atrocities has remained hidden all these years. And the killing isnâ€™t over yet.

In Cold Blood meets â€˜The Most Dangerous Game,â€™Â A Penny for the Hangman is a predator-and-prey chase that takes the reader to a tropical paradise, and reveals the steaming underbelly it hides.â€â€”Jenny Milchman, award-winning author of Cover of Snow
