Precious You: A Novel
by Helen Monks TakharAn obsessive power struggle between an editor and her millennial intern turns dangerous in this debut psychological thriller—for readers of Luckiest Girl Alive and You. &“An incredibly addictive thriller that examines women in the workplace, ageism, and the clash of generations. It&’s creepy and unnerving, with observations that are often dead-on.&”—Samantha Downing, author of My Lovely Wife Trusting you was my first mistake. To Katherine, twenty-four-year-old Lily Lunt is a typical &“snowflake.&” It seems like the privileged, politically correct millennial will do whatever she can to make it big as a writer, including leveraging her family&’s connections. To Lily, Katherine Ross, a career woman in her early forties, is a holdover from another era: clueless, old-fashioned, and perfectly happy to build her success on the backs of her unpaid interns. When Lily is hired as the new intern at the magazine where Katherine is editor in chief, her arrival threatens the very foundation of the self-serving little world that Katherine has built. She finds herself obsessively drawn to Lily, who seems to be a cruel reminder of the beauty and potential she once had—things Lily uses against Katherine as she slowly begins to undermine her, sabotaging her work and turning the magazine&’s new publisher against her. Is Katherine being paranoid? Or is Lily seeking to systematically destroy her life? As Katherine tries to fight back, a toxic generational divide turns explosive and long-buried secrets are exposed—with deadly consequences for both. . . .Gripping and provocative, Precious You delivers an unsettling, provocative take on the contemporary workplace, turning the professional roles women play on their heads in a razor-sharp, revenge-driven thriller for our age.Advance praise for Precious You&“Breathtaking. A brilliant, butt-kicking romp through the Gen X/Millennial clash and the horrors of cutthroat corporate life. I couldn't put it down.&”—Alex Marwood, Edgar Award–winning author of The Wicked Girls &“What a wild ride. I&’m obsessed with it! I felt so seen, so many times. This book, while so twisted and dark, will resonate with many, many women.&”—Laurie Elizabeth Flynn, author of Last Girl Lied To &“An intergenerational clash between two women, played out to a shocking finale. Nail-biting.&”—Harriet Tyce, author of Blood Orange

On the peaceful island of Elba in the late seventies, charismatic and enigmatic billionaire Jean-Paul Becker has gathered the prime minister of Britain, the presidents of France and Italy, and the chancellor of West Germany for a summit meeting.

As Becker watches and directs from his private jet, the most powerful industrial complex in the world swings into action, mobilizing private security firms whose impact far outnumbers the country’s police and armed forces’ manpower. Can anything stop such a surprisingly simple plot or the man behind it? The son of a Greek prostitute and a Nazi fleeing his war crimes, Becker survived a desperate childhood. Buffeted by fate, he became determined to thrive—whatever the cost. “Spellbinding . . . Intriguing . . . Fascinating.” —The San Diego Union-Tribune “Outrageously entertaining . . .
