Never To Be Found: The stunning new thriller from the no.1 bestseller

'Propulsive, break-neck pace and a wonderfully layered, twisty story - ANDREA MARA 'A relentlessly gripping page-turner' - CATHERINE RYAN HOWARD 'An utterly compelling thriller' - TM LOGAN THE BRAND NEW 2026 PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER FROM THE NO.1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE CONFESSION. ___________________ She helped him disappear. She'll wish she hadn't . . . In Japan, one hundred thousand people voluntarily disappear every year, aided by those who help them start over. They call them Johatsu - the evaporated. I brought the idea to England. No judgement, no questions. Just new identities, packed bags, and discreet escape plans from abusive partners, debt, or simply lives that no longer fit. I thought I was doing something good - honourable, even. Until now. I know now that not everyone is fleeing hardship. I've helped someone who committed a crime to flee the police. I've disappeared a murderer. And unless I find him, I don't know what he'll do next . . . More praise for Never to be Found: 'Will grip you from the first page. With a fantastic concept and a fast-paced, twisty plot, this is undoubtedly one of my books of the year. A masterclass in how to write an impeccable crime novel' - JANE CASEY 'The best thriller you will read this year. Utterly original, breathtakingly gripping, forensically plotted . . . this is a masterpiece that crowns Jo Spain as one of the best writers of a generation. You will be completely sucked into the world of the evaporated, and confounded by twist after terrifying twist. Unputadownable genius, pure and simple' - SAM BLAKE 'Jo Spain's incomparable flair for plotting and a truly intriguing - and original - premise makes this a relentlessly gripping page-turner. Truly, I couldn't put it down' - CATHERINE RYAN HOWARD 'Non-stop tension, clever twists and turns, and nothing is ever as it seems' - ANDREA MARA (on Jo Spain)
