Riley Sager is the New York Times bestselling author of eight novels, most recently THE ONLY ONE LEFT and THE HOUSE ACROSS THE LAKE.

His latest novel, MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, 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." ...more

Both of your books were such great reads. Will we ever see film adaptations of either one?

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)

why use a pseudonym for this book.?

Riley Sager 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 indus鈥辞谤别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 欧宝娱乐, 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:
