Riley Sager is the New York Times bestselling author of seven novels, most recently THE HOUSE ACROSS THE LAKE and SURVIVE THE NIGHT. His first thriller, FINAL GIRLS, won the ITW Thriller Award for Best Hardcover Novel and has been published in more than thirty countries. His latest novel, THE ONLY ONE LEFT, will be published in June.

A native of Pennsylvania, he now lives in Princeton, New Jersey. When he's not writing, he enjoys reading, cooking and going to the movies as much as possible. His favorite film is "Rear Window." Or maybe "Jaws." But probably, if he's being honest, "Mary Poppins."

Amazon Studios is developing THE LAST TIME I LIED as a limited TV series. Now, there's no guarantee these projects will actually see the light of day. The path from book to screen is filled with obstacles. Getting the right script. Casting the right people. Financing and locations and a hundred other things that sometimes makes me wonder how any movie gets made. But I'm hopeful that one day we'll see one of my books on the big or small screen.(less)

The simple answer is that we wanted to differentiate it from books I had published under my real name.

The complex answer involves the publishing industry, past book sales and publisher expectations. Readers love discovering new authors, which means publishers love introducing new authors, which means it's very hard for previously published authors with low sales numbers to break out of the pack. Unless they write under a new name. Lots of writers have done it. More than most people suspect. My agent and I agreed that it was the best option for me. And that's how Riley Sager was born.(less)

My Favorite Thrillers

It's Mystery and Thriller Week on Goodreads, which makes it the perfect time for a big, fat, juicy list.

After much soul-searching and shelf browsing and re-reading, I've compiled a list of a dozen of my favorite mysteries and thrillers. Each one of these books was a white-knuckle read for me. I couldn't put them down.

So, without further ado, here they are, in order of when they were published:
