Park in Lots S2 and V1; click here for campus map . You will check in at the door of the Zlock Performing Arts Center at the Bucks County Community College in Newtown and receive your copy(s) of the book. Riley Sager will pre-sign copies of the book; no personalization of books. After the event Riley Sager will do a photo line to meet fans – he will not personalize books or sign anything after the event. Only people who have purchased the book will be allowed in line. If you bought the "2 People and 1 Book Ticket", only one of the two people will be allowed in line for photo. General Admission Seating. Doors will open at 6pm. If you need special accommodations, please call the store. Tickets are NON-REFUNDABLE; if you are unable to attend, you will still receive your book. ABOUT THE BOOK It's not summer without a new Riley Sager book, and his highly anticipated new thriller is unlike anything he’s written before. Inspired by Agatha Christie’s classic, Murder on the Orient Express , WITH A VENGEANCE (out June 10, 2025; Dutton) is set entirely on a luxury overnight train from Philadelphia to Chicago with just a handful of passengers…and a murderer on board. There’s more than one person on the train seeking vengeance - and it’s a race against the clock to see who can strike the hardest before the end of the night. Since his breakout hit Final Girls , Sager has honed his knack for page-turning suspense with each book. Last year’s Middle of the Night received more rave reviews and attention than ever before from outlets like The New York Times, NPR , Good Morning America, People, AARP and beyond. Sager’s book tour was met with packed, standing room only crowds, rocketing Middle of the Night onto the NYT bestseller list – his seventh bestseller in as many years. Even with last year’s huge Sager Summer, WITH A VENGEANCE is already on track to be his biggest release to date. All aboard! Revenge is fleeting. Vengeance lasts a lifetime. It’s 1954 and Anna Matheson has been waiting twelve years to take vengeance against the six people who destroyed her family. No one expected her to strike at all, much less on the luxury train her father loved and lost, but she’s managed to do just that. Under false pretenses, Anna lures the six culprits aboard. There’s the housekeeper, the secretary, the business partner, the rival, the military contractor, and the jealous employee. Each responded to a highly specific invitation, climbing aboard the train that brought them all together in the first place, but what they didn’t expect is that they would be the only people on this particular journey. There are no other passengers, no employees – just them, Anna, her accomplice, and their mutual fury. Anna isn’t a killer, and her plot doesn’t involve bloodshed. But despite her meticulous preparations, Anna’s plan to trap and confront each person before delivering them directly into the hands of the authorities is immediately derailed when one of her six guests is murdered. As the train barrels through the night, it becomes clear that someone else on board is enacting their own form of revenge—and that they won’t stop until everyone is dead. As the clock ticks down and the bodies pile up, Anna is forced to hunt the killer, second guess her allies, and protect the people she hates the most, even if that means putting her own life at risk. Sager pivots to different characters’ perspectives throughout the novel, keeping the storyline as unpredictable as the revenge plot. WITH A VENGEANCE is summer reading at its best – fun, thrilling, and smart, with twists that will have you wishing your vacation flight was just a little bit longer. For fans of Ruth Ware and Lucy Foley, this is a can’t miss. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Riley Sager is the New York Times bestselling author of nine novels, most recently With a Vengeance and Middle of the Night . A native of Pennsylvania, he now lives in Princeton, New Jersey. Information Source: Newtown Bookshop | eventbrite
