Description


Every day, hundreds of people go about their lives with no idea that someone has paid to have them killed. In the depths of the dark net, tech journalist Carl Miller makes a disturbing discovery: a secret “kill list” targeting hundreds of innocent people on a murder-for-hire website. When the police are slow to investigate, Carl is thrown into a race against time to warn those in danger and uncover the truth before it’s too late. From Wondery and Novel comes a shocking true story about obsession, control and the price of life and death.

On this special episode, Kill List host Carl Miller sits down for an in-depth conversation with best-selling crime novelist James Patterson, whose long-running Alex Cross book series is the inspiration for the new Amazon Prime series Cross. They’ll discuss where Patterson gets his inspiration, and draw parallels between the challenges Carl faced investigating Kill List, and the obstacles Patterson’s famous fictional detective goes up against when trying to catch his villains. Patterson’s latest Cross novel, The House of Cross, hits shelves this month.Be the first to know about Wondery’s newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

Fucking shit I just saw there’s 10 episodes. Bye. I thought there was six. No fucking way you did an episode per person. Oh wow man. This is what sucks about podcast right now. Do you guys lead with your economics and edit never. Good Lord this was indulgent nonsense.

I know that you can’t tell people paid by the episode to make less episodes, but make less episodes. You don’t even have to work hard to edit this series down. You have a four episode story at the most. The bullshit about the back stories of their marriages, and all that, you can keep all that. Your precious anxiety about telling everybody this terrible news for you, you can keep all of that. If I was your editor, I would’ve sent your entire script into the bin

You guys spent two hours of edited broadcast time setting up all of this concern for people’s trauma and all this bullshit and then a perfectly time whether a human being says “I’m not surprised“. That’s what it’s like to have some skin. That’s a little bit thicker than rice paper you wankers

This was really not the losing hope in the next generation moment I thought it was gonna be Be. Yeah there’s a kill list and my faith in humanity is on it. You dip shit couldn’t make a phone call.

Counsellors standing by, oh my God. Oh my fucking word. Just fucking tell them. Jesus Christ, only in England I swear to God only in fucking England. This is the chilling effect of a society gone mad, catering to every possible negative outcome person could have in life. Give them the bad fucking news. They’re gonna get a lot of it in their life, but they haven’t gotten nanny yet. They should get used to dealing with it. Oh my word.

Holy fucking shit, I have never seen such an archetype of soft needlessly contemplative enable to act millennials in my life. You would sooner have these people be killed then give them a panic attack or any number of other millennium branded nonsense. You’re so frightened about using words you forgotten what the hell you’re telling these people. Oh my God, grossing balls was unbelievably hard to listen to.

This whole thing where millennials don’t know how to talk on the phone, it’s not cute. It’s not quirky. It’s a liability to your professional life. I can’t believe how the fuck. I just heard an adult trying to communicate something of urgency to another adult. Oh my God talk on the phone a lot more. You’re like a child, omg this was Cringe inducing to listen to.

I’ve never been quite so annoyed with podcasts in my life “hello sir I’m a journalist. I’ve come across your name in a list of people involved in murder for higher. We believe that someone is trying to target you or maybe looking to harm you themselves personally. This is not a joke. It’s not a scam. I do not want any money from you. Will you please give me some moments of your time to explain more about this” that’s what you fucking say you weirdos.
