An over-the-top psychological thriller that tells the story of the scorned wife of a billionaire and her delicious plot to get revenge and bring him to his knees—a "sexy, deliciously dark journey" ( Los Angeles Times ) from a global superstar. Faye has loved Jack since they were students at business school. Jack, the perpetual golden boy, grew up wealthy, unlike Faye, who has worked hard to bury a dark past. When Jack needed help launching a new company, Faye left school to support him, waitressing by day and working as his strategist by night. When the business took off, Faye stayed home and cared for their daughter. Now, she is wealthier than she ever imagined, but more and more removed from the excitement of the business world. And none of the perks of wealth make up for the fact that Jack has begun to treat her coldly. When Faye discovers that he's having an affair, the polished façade of their life cracks wide open. Faye is alone, emotionally shattered, and financially devastated—but hell hath no fury like a woman with a violent past bent on vengeance. Jack is about to get exactly what he deserves—and so much more. In this splashy, electrifying story of sex, betrayal, and secrets, a woman's revenge is a brutal but beautiful thing. An Amazon Best Book of July 2020: Many of the reviews for the new Camilla Läckberg thriller will reference Gone Girl and Big Little Lies and those comparisons are apt. The Golden Cage has plot points in common with each: from a wife setting up a Byzantine revenge plot against her faithless husband to a woman relying on the friendship and camaraderie of other women as she reels from the blow of a life-changing setback. But as Faye sheds her housewife persona and slips back into her savvy businesswoman persona—ready to wreak revenge on her smug husband Jack, and the woman he replaced Faye with—another plot point, that of the permanent damage that domestic abuse does to women, mentally and physically, comes to a head. And gives readers one more reason to cheer a smart, sexy, indefatigable woman in a smart, sexy, full-throttle thriller. —Vannessa Cronin, Amazon Book Review A Kirkus Best Mystery & Thriller of 2020 A Publishers Weekly Best Thriller of 2020 A Parade Best Book of the Summer A Read It Forward Favorite Read of July  An O Magazine Best Book of the Summer An  OK Magazine Sizzling Summer Read A Glamour Best Book of 2020 A Real Simple Best Book of 2020 A PureWow Book We Can't Wait to Read A Buzzfeed Best Thriller of the Summer A PopSugar Most Anticipated Book of the Year "Smart, unflinching...  [a] novel of female empowerment and triumph over the patriarchy." — Mary Kubica, New York Times Book Review " The Golden Cage  is a fast-paced psychological thriller about betrayal, sex, money, and a scorned wife’s revenge à la  Gone Girl." — Dana Vogel,  Buzzfeed "An addictive and twisty psychological thriller, Camilla Lackberg’s The Golden Cage is a true page-turner from the very start … this is a story full of big personalities, big emotions, big sexual appetites, and big surprises.” — Nerd Daily "The doyenne of Swedish crime fiction serves up a propulsive tale of a scorned woman who seeks to crush the husband who betrayed her and gets back at him by surreptitiously stealing his multimillion-dollar company out from under him. There’s enough haute couture, Cava, and hot sex to sate a devotee of romance fiction, but the real satisfaction comes in watching our heroine reclaim her fierceness.” — O Magazine " Sexy, scandalous, and terrifying, this is the kind of suspense story you gobble up in one sitting.”  — Real Simple "Insightful, addictive – and twisted! A." — In Touch "A sexy, deliciously dark journey." — Los Angeles Times "Läckberg has made a career out of writing ingenious psychological suspense stories about vile people doing vile things...  The Golden Cage tells a nasty tale about entrenched male domination in a supposedly enlightened society; great wealth and the soul rot it can breed; and the payback — oh, the sweet, sick payback of a woman used and spurned, rising up from the discard pile." — Maureen Corrigan, Washington Post "Camilla Läckberg proves again that she is a master of her craft... Readers are reminded to please keep your hands, arms, feet and legs inside the ride vehicle at all times. Roller coasters are not nearly as much fun as the plot of The Golden Cage." — Fredericksburg Freelance Star "One stunningly sexy and over-the-top psychological thriller about the wife of a billionaire entrepreneur whose intelligence and sacrifice is constantly undermined. Faye has some well-hidden secrets too, but she is about to take vengeance of epic proportions on her cheating husband, and, what’s the phrase?  Hell Hath No Fury Like a Woman Scorned." — Parade "At long last, the thriller genre is serving up a novel that truly deserves to be mentioned alongside Gone Girl.
