PETER MILES HAS TO DIE
Tagline: This revenge thriller will appeal to readers of Karin Slaughter and Megan Miranda, and fans of the 2020 hit miniseries The Undoing. Ultimately, this is a story about revenge, that will have you questioning just how much you would do in the name of friendship and whether anything will ever be enough to satiate the need for revenge.
About the book: Peter Miles has to die. And Dylan Darcy, Priya Shah, and Isabel Guerrero—a bartender, a nurse, and a student—have to be the ones to kill him. As they see it, this local cop deserves death for murdering their best friend and getting away with it. All they need to do to pull off the perfect crime is stick to their carefully prepared plan.
So that’s exactly what they do. Murder, it turns out, is surprisingly easy when you’re fueled by revenge. What comes after is the hard part.
As the dry Texas heat gives way to cooler weather, their blazing rage is replaced by a chill fear. Because there’s a fallout that comes from settling the score against someone like Peter, and it could cost them more than they’ve bargained for. When the lead investigator on the case starts sniffing around for a cop killer, the three friends are not feeling as confident as they did on that fateful night. And when they start receiving death threats, it weakens their resolve even further…but it’s too little too late.
What they don’t realize is that this detective has her own reasons for wanting to get to the bottom of Peter’s murder. Reasons that don’t involve them at all. The investigation ramps up, and so does the pressure, leaving Dylan, Priya, and Isabel to wonder if ending his life may end up costing them theirs.
As the guilt of what they’ve done settles in their bones, they realize there’s no going back. Someone is going to have to take the fall.

Praise for PETER MILES HAS TO DIE:
“What happens when three women decide to avenge the murder of their best friend? In her riveting debut thriller, Katie Collom explores what we owe the ones we love, and how ordinary life can change in an instant. I couldn't put this down and was stunned by a plot twist that was a complete shock and made perfect sense.” – Amanda Eyre Ward, New York Times bestselling author of The Jetsetters and The Lifeguards
“The title lured me in, but I stayed for a character-rich tale of revenge that explores the dark and fierce loyalty that binds women. How far would you go for your best friend? You’ll be asking yourself that from the first page to the last. You won’t see the clever ending coming.” – Julia Heaberlin, internationally bestselling author of We Are All the Same in the Dark
“Peter Miles Has to Die is a high-stakes thriller that asks what we’re willing to risk in order to get revenge. This twisty story of female friendship had me on the edge of my seat from the first page!” – Shea Earnshaw, New York Times bestselling author
“Dark, twisty, clever, and worth every moment—Katie Collom’s debut is a stunner! What starts as a revenge story grows into a deep and unsettling look into the eyes of abuse, and asks the age old question—does an eye for an eye ever truly bring closure? A superb read” – J.T. Ellison, New York Times bestselling author of A Very Bad Thing
“Collom cleverly generates suspense with chapters narrated by an unnamed character who’s in prison for Peter’s murder, and she infuses the tale with a winning feminist message.” – Publishers Weekly
“Collom's debut thriller packs a punch. It explores the deadly consequences of vigilante justice. The premise is deliciously unsettling—three friends commit what they believe is the perfect murder, only to discover that revenge comes with a soul-crushing price tag….Against a backdrop of law enforcement sexism and discrimination, the story builds to a genuinely shocking twist that I never saw coming, leaving me both satisfied and disturbed in equal measure.” – Faith & Film
