The USA Today bestselling and Edgar Award-winning author of If I
Die Tonight delivers an absorbing, addictive tale of psychological
suspense--with a Serial-esque podcast twist--reminiscent of the
bestsellers of Laura Lippman and Harlan Coben.
For thirteen days in 1976, teenage murderers April Cooper and Gabriel
LeRoy terrorized Southern California's Inland Empire, killing a dozen
victims before perishing themselves in a fire... or did they? More than
40 years later, twentysomething podcast producer Quentin Garrison blames
his troubled upbringing on the murders. And after a shocking message
from a source, he has reason to believe April Cooper may still be alive.
Meanwhile, New York City film columnist Robin Diamond is coping with
rising doubts about her husband and terrifying threats from internet
trolls. But that's nothing compared to the outrageous phone call she
gets from Quentin... and a brutal home invasion that makes her question
everything she ever believed in. Is Robin's beloved mother a mass
murderer? Is there anyone she can trust?
Told through the eyes of those destroyed by the Inland Empire
Killings--including Robin, Quentin, and a fifteen-year-old April
Cooper--Never Look Back asks the question:
How well do we really know our parents, our partners--and ourselves?
