From the publisher:

Lucas Forester didn’t hate his wife. Michelle was brilliant, sophisticated, and beautiful. Sure, she had extravagant spending habits and that petty attitude, a total disregard for anyone below her status. But she also had a lot to offer. Most notably, wealth that only the one percent could comprehend.

For years, Lucas has been honing a flawless plan to inherit Michelle’s fortune. Unfortunately, it involves taking a hit out on her.

Every track is covered, no trace left behind, and now Lucas plays the grieving husband so well he deserves an award. But when a shocking photo and cryptic note show up on his doorstep, Lucas goes from hunter to prey. 

Someone is on to him. And they’re closing in.

Praise

“If you want to read a thriller that will make you stay up all night, pulse-racing until you finish, read this one! Hannah Mary McKinnon is an evil genius and Never Coming Home is a wicked, twisty, devious delight. I devoured this impeccably plotted, delectably propulsive thriller which had me positively gasping at all the twists and turns. With razor-sharp wit as pointed as a switchblade, McKinnon has created that rare thriller: one in which the reader is actively rooting for the villain! Lucas Forester is one of the most likeable unlikable characters in crime fiction. A must-read for 2022!”
