It’s a deadly race against time…

Tech billionaire Miles has more money than he can ever spend, but he can’t buy more time. Diagnosed with a terminal illness, he is forced to take a long, hard look at his past.

Somewhere out there, Miles has children who don’t know it, but they might be about to inherit the good and bad from him – possibly his fortune, or possibly something more sinister.

So, Miles decides to track them down. But a lethal killer is one step ahead of him. One by one, people are vanishing. Not just disappearing, every trace of them is wiped.

Number One Sunday Times bestseller Linwood Barclay returns with his electrifying new thriller, Find You First.

Critic reviews

"Find You First starts with a bang and ends with an even bigger one. Barclay is a terrific writer, but he’s outdone himself with this. It’s the best book of his career. I couldn’t put it down, and you won’t be able to, either. If you enjoy thrillers, this is the real deal. It never lets up." (Stephen King)

"A full-throttle powerhouse of a thriller - Linwood Barclay is in a class of his own." (T. M. Logan)

"Barclay has a knack for turning news stories or social trends into rambunctious black-comedy thrillers full of sharply drawn fools and knaves." (Sunday Times, Thriller of the Month)

Great story and performance

I really enjoyed the plot and this was performed excellently. I definitely recommend even if you’re not familiar with Barclay’s work.

Hooked from the start

Great story that keeps you gripped from the start. I really enjoy Linwood’s books, he doesn’t babble with page filling nonsense every word is part of the story and his characters are always brilliant.

WOW

I heard the synopsis through a radio advert but missed the Author’s name and the title. It took nearly a month to find the missing details but it was worth the effort. Amazing intricate storytelling, character development and plot twists.

Narrator is excellent as are his “voices”

I would highly recommend this book and will be purchasing another Linwood Barclay.

Thrilling

When I understood the storyline I thought thus isn't my kind of book but then I realised I wanted to know more about what happened to the characters. I finished it in less than a week listening in the car as I wanted to continue hearing about Miles and Chloe.
