In this audacious psychological thriller where nothing is what it seems, a man facing death makes a life-changing choice that puts him—and the people he loves—in serious trouble. Ted McKay had it all: a beautiful wife, two daughters, a high-paying job. But after being diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor he finds himself with a gun to his temple, ready to pull the trigger. Then the doorbell rings. A stranger makes him a proposition: why not kill two deserving men before dying? The first target is a criminal, and the second is a man with terminal cancer who, like Ted, wants to die. After executing these kills, Ted will become someone else's next target, like a kind of suicidal daisy chain. Ted understands the stranger's logic: it's easier for a victim's family to deal with a murder than with a suicide. However, as Ted commits the murders, the crime scenes strike him as odd. The targets know him by name and possess familiar mementos. Even more bizarrely, Ted recognizes locations and men he shouldn't know. As Ted's mind begins to crack, dark secrets from his past seep through the fissures. Kill the Next One is an immersive psychological thriller from an exciting new voice.

¿Qué harías si te encontraras un cadáver en el salón de tu casa y no recordaras nada de las últimas horas? El esperado regreso de Federico Axat, el nuevo maestro del thriller psicológico. «Desperté envuelto en una bruma de confusión, como solía sucederme cada vez que me emborrachaba y caía rendido en otro sitio que no fuera mi propia cama. Esta vez estaba en el salón de mi casa, y al abrir los ojos descubrí el cadáver de una chica.» A sus veintisiete años, John Brenner ya es un ex alcohólico, está divorciado y tiene una hija de cuatro años a quien ve menos de lo que le gustaría. Una noche despierta en el suelo de su casa sin poder recordar absolutamente nada de las últimas horas. A su lado hay una botella de vodka vacía, una pistola y el cadáver de una chica joven y hermosa que no recuerda haber visto nunca antes. En su cabeza retumba sin cesar la misma pregunta: «¿Soy el asesino o alguien llevó a cabo el montaje perfecto?» Todo parece indicar que le han tendido una trampa. John es un hombre sencillo, y no se imagina quien podría querer inculparlo de un asesinato. La respuesta solo podrá encontrarla él, escondida en su propia mente, e irá aflorando en una serie de sueños recurrentes donde la misteriosa chica lo sigue por el bosque repitiendo la misma frase perturbadora: «Has olvidado algo».
