Never Look Away

NATIONAL BESTSELLER

“Where has Linwood Barclay been all my life? His is the best thriller I’ve read in five years. . . . Once I was 30 pages in, I literally could not put it down.” —Stephen King

In this mesmerizing thriller by New York Times bestselling author Linwood Barclay, a man’s life unravels around him when the unthinkable strikes.

David Harwood, a reporter in Promise Falls, New York, is stressed out. The newspaper he works for is outsourcing jobs to India, he can’t get a solid lead on the corrupt for-profit prison moving to town, and his wife, Jan, is struggling with a bout of depression. As a much-needed break, David and Jan decide to take their four-year-old son, Ethan, to a local amusement park for a day of ice cream, rollercoasters, and carefree fun. But revelry is quickly replaced with panic when Ethan goes missing. Though he is soon found, panic escalates to full-blown terror when Jan suddenly disappears. Confused and worried, David finds himself desperately searching for any clue that could lead him to his wife—even if it means unraveling a tangle of lies and deception that becomes more complicated at every turn.
