WITH A VENGEANCE
By Riley Sager
(July 3, 2025)
MYSTERY, THRILLER, HISTORICAL
One train. No stops. A deadly game of survival and revenge.
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.

Thank you to Net Galley and Random House Worlds for this title.
“This place hates you.”
“This place hates you.” No, [literally] this place hates you. A theme that is repeated throughout this novel.
It’s an eerie story, a cross between Syfy’s Channel Zero and Kiersten White’s novel Mister Magic.
What ends would friends go to if one were in trouble? These friends created “the covenant” just for that reason. Matty, Owen, Hamish, Nick, and Lorn (short for Lauren) would do just about anything for one another, but after Matty goes missing, these friendships would be put through the ultimate test.
Now, estranged, they are brought together where another staircase has appeared. This is their chance to [once and for all] find out what happened to Matty.
This would be more than a guilt trip about their lost friend, but a rehashing of all the trauma and insecurities they faced as teenagers. The bullying in school, the neglectful parents, and memories they’d rather have buried are returning. [More]
