Inhalt: THE PERFECT THRILLER Ted has it all: a beautiful wife, two daughters, a high-paying job. But after he is diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour he finds himself with a gun to his temple, ready to pull the trigger. That's when the doorbell rings. A stranger makes him a proposition: kill two deserving men before dying. The first is a criminal, and the second is, like Ted, terminally ill, and wants to die. If Ted kills these men he will then become a target himself in a kind of suicidal daisy chain—and won't it be easier for his family if he's a murder victim? Kill The Next One is an audacious, immersive psychological thriller in which nothing is what it seems. Federico Axat was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1975.
