"Waiting On" Wednesday: A Stranger Like You

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted here, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:

A Stranger Like You
By Elizabeth Brundage
Publication Date: August 5

From Amazon:

Hedda Chase is a top-flight executive producer at Gladiator Films, fast-tracked in the business since she graduated from Yale. An aggressive businesswoman, she recently pulled the plug on a film project initiated by one of her predecessors. The screenwriter on the project was Hugh Waters, a wannabe with a dead-end marriage and a day job at an insurance company. This script was his ticket out--until Hedda tampered with his plans, claiming his violence was over the top, his premise not credible, and his ending implausible. Hugh decides to prove otherwise by staging his script's ending and casting Hedda Chase as the victim. He flies to Los Angeles and finds Hedda, kidnaps her, and locks her in the trunk of her vintage BMW in the parking lot at LAX. He leaves the keys in the ignition, the parking ticket on the dash, and lets "destiny" take its course.

What's your "waiting on" pick this week?

I read one of Brundage's other books (The Doctor's Wife or something like that) and it was better than I had thought when I picked it up. Much darker that I had anticipated.

This is my first time participating in this meme but I've enjoyed seeing it on other blogs ... even though it just adds to an already huge wish list pile.
