Federico Axat is an Argentine author who writes psychological thrillers with twisting plots. His debut, The Butterfly Swamp (2013), was originally published in Spanish and established his interest in stories where reality is not what it first appears to be.
Kill the Next One (2016) brought him to English-language readers. The novel follows a man about to end his life who is interrupted by a stranger with a disturbing proposal. The book plays with perception and trust, keeping the reader uncertain about what is real and what is not. Axat’s style leans toward the puzzle-box thriller, where the satisfaction comes from watching the pieces rearrange.
