Never Far Away

By: Michael Koryta

Narrated by: Robert Petkoff

The New York Times bestselling master of American thriller writing returns with an electrifying novel about a mother seeking to reconnect with her children after a terrible trial tears their family apart.

“In this complex, surprising, and totally satisfying suspense novel, all of the moving parts, every character, every scene leads to one of the best showdowns I’ve read in years.” ―James Patterson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Alex Cross series

Nina Morgan’s bloodstained car was found a decade ago on a lonely Florida road. Forensic evidence suggested she’d been murdered, although her body was never found. Her disappearance left her infant children to the care of their father.

Once a pilot, mother, wife, and witness to a gruesome crime, Nina had to flee her old life to save her family. She reinvented herself as Leah Trenton, a guide in the Allagash Wilderness in northern Maine. She never expected to see her children again, but now tragedy has returned them to her—only they have no idea that she’s their mother—and delivered all of them back into danger. “Aunt Leah” will need some help, and an old ally has a suggestion: an enigmatic young hitman named Dax Blackwell.

Never Far Away is a thrilling collision between old sins and new dreams, where the wills and ingenuity of a broken family will be tested against all odds.

Another home run!

Incredible and Different

Absolutely loved it. Dax Blackwell is such a fascinating character. Wonder jow he would do against Jack Reacher..

One of his best

I loved this book, which is both suspenseful and amusing. While I liked and sympathized with the protagonists, I hoped most at the end that in the future we will see more of some of the other characters. (Trying to avoid spoilers!)

My first

This was my first book by this author. I liked it, but did not love it. It kept my attention, but it took me a little bit to get through the book.

Entertaining

First time author for me. I enjoyed the setting which was mostly in motherboard Maine. While not an edge of the seat intense thriller it was an entertaining, east listen.

I did enjoy it.
