Never to be Found

Description

How do you find a killer you helped to disappear?

The brand-new high-concept
psychological thriller from the no.1 bestselling author of The Confession.

She’ll help anyone in need. But did she just save a killer?

There is a chilling phenomenon in Japan known as Johatsu – people who vanish
voluntarily from their lives. It’s said 100,000 people per year are Johatsu, and an
entire industry has sprung up to support those who choose to.

Life is hard. For some people, it’s just too much.

That’s what I thought when I brought the concept to England. People will disappear
anyway. What if I could help them? So I pack their belongings discreetly, create
new identities, forge documents, give directions to the cities and towns where the
‘night-mover’ can live anonymously.

It’s just a business. I never saw it as a shameful act. I’ve helped people flee from
abusive relationships, from work pressure, from debt, from unfulfilled lives. People
in need. I consider what I do to be honourable.

Until now that is.

Because I’ve just learned that I’m not absent of responsibility. That I am capable of
doing a terrible thing.

That it’s not just a business.

I helped somebody flee from a crime. From the police.

I evaporated a murderer.

And if I don’t find him, I can’t live with what he might do next.
