Dead In The Water

A diabolically clever thriller that will keep you guessing until the final, shocking twist.

Marriage is hard. It’s harder when both spouses are killers—and neither one likes to lose.

Marriage is hard. It’s harder when both spouses are killers—and neither one likes to lose.

Jude and Kate have settled into married life.

Nice house.

Quiet suburb.

Perfect cover.

The neighbors have no idea Jude is a hit man.

They’d probably be even more surprised by Kate.

The problem isn’t that husband and wife both have a flexible relationship with murder.

It’s that they’re competitive.

What begins as a silent game of one-upmanship soon has Jude and Kate keeping score the only way that makes sense to them:

Body counts.

Marriage is supposed to be about compromise.

Jude and Kate aren’t especially good at that.

Most couples fight about whose turn it is to take out the trash. These two are considerably more interested in who goes in it.

Dead in the Water is a dark, wickedly funny thriller about marriage, murder, two morally flexible people, and what happens when a killer couple turns happily-ever-after into a competition.
