What to expect

One train. No stops. A deadly game of survival and revenge.

'A locked room thriller at its best! Nonstop suspense with twists and turns that will leave your head spinning' FREIDA MCFADDEN

'Sager wields a deft hand in bringing all the elements together into a rip-roaring, tension-filled tale of greed, murder and revenge' DAVID BALDACCI

In 1942, six people destroyed Anna Matheson's family. Twelve years later, she's ready for retribution.

Under false pretenses, Anna has lured those responsible for her family's downfall onto a luxury train from Philadelphia to Chicago, an overnight journey of fourteen hours. Her goal? Confront the people who've wronged her, get them to confess their crimes, and deliver them into the hands of authorities waiting at the end of the line. Justice will at last be served.

But Anna's plan is quickly derailed by the murder of one of the passengers. As the train barrels through the night, it becomes clear that someone else on board is enacting their own form of revenge-and that they won't stop until everyone else is dead.

With time running out before the train reaches its destination, Anna is forced to hunt the killer in their midst while protecting the people she hates the most. In order to destroy her enemies, she must first save them-even though it means putting her own life at risk.

Critics Review

A clever and fun mashup of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None and Murder on the Orient Express. Sager wields a deft hand in bringing all the elements together into a rip-roaring, tension-filled tale of greed, murder and revenge. Enjoy the ride on the Phoenix!

With a Vengeance is a locked room thriller at its best! Nonstop suspense with twists and turns that will leave your head spinning!
Freida McFadden
For readers seeking a page-turner with a kick-ass female protagonist, this punches the ticket
Publishers Weekly
With a Vengeance is not merely the final destination - the answers to whodunnit or how - but the whole journey; observing the passing scenery, the setting, the passengers and seeing where the ride takes you
USA Today
The pacing is relentless, the plotting Agatha Christie-esque and the cinematic feel is worthy of an Alfred Hitchcock
Bookpage
At the top of his game. Sager delivers a thriller so tautly written, so tightly constructed, that readers will emerge from the book breathless and in a mild state of shock. With this book, Sager has committed an act of brilliance
