Read this “high-octane thriller” that “calls to mind…Jeffery Deaver and Alfred Hitchcock” and questions everything that you have ever saved on your phone (Mystery Scene Magazine).


If Zack takes Joey’s phone to the police, will they believe his swapped cell phone story? Would they even be able to protect him? Because the hit man now has Zack’s phone with the phone numbers and addresses of Zack’s new girlfriend Emily, his best friend Steve, and all the texts and information from Zack’s life.

Whether Zack keeps the phone or ditches it, Joey will kill him for what he now knows. In cat-and-mouse twists, turns, and continually mounting terror, one thing is clear: Zack is next on the hit man’s list.

  • "A book that calls to mind the novels and stories of Jeffery Deaver and the films of director Alfred Hitchcock, Stone's latest successfully exploits many proven tropes of the thriller genre.... A sly commentary on our modern obsession with phones and celebrity, Die Next is truly a high-octane thriller, one that will keep you madly flipping pages, defying your expectations at every turn, as Stone delivers handily on, not only one, but two "high concepts" in one very well-crafted adventure."
    Mystery Scene magazine

  • "A roller-coaster ride that never ends. From the first page through the last, Stone takes us on a wild ride through Manhattan and Brooklyn.
