Description

Given only weeks to live, Kenny Drummond finds a mystery worth dying to solve

In this gripping psychological thriller from the creator of Luther, Kenny Drummond has been diagnosed with late-stage brain cancer and is writing a list—a list of all the people he has let down in one way or another. He is determined to make amends before the black smudge that keeps showing up on his scans exercises its final power over him.

Working his way down the list, Kenny comes to an old schoolmate, Callie Barton, who was kind when he needed a friend. He heard she dated and eventually married Jonathan Reese, and that they live in Bath.

But no matter how hard he tries, Kenny can’t seem to get ahold of Callie; she’s disappeared without a trace. In fact, there are rumors that Reese wasn’t the kindest husband. And he sure seems like he has something to hide.

Now Kenny has a ticking clock and a promise to keep, and nothing’s going to stand in his way.

Advance Praise

“Once again, Neil Cross proves that he’s not just a master of suspense, but horror too. Reading his ultra-crisp prose and expertly structured tales, it’s not hard to see why he’s also an uber-successful screenwriter.” —Daily Mirror

“A psychological thriller for which the term ‘page-turner’ might have been coined. . . . [Captured] certainly thrills.” —Metro

“Cross’ work is generally very scabrous stuff indeed: blood-boltered, hard-edged and sardonically funny. . . . As in the earlier Burial and Mr In-Between, Cross demonstrates a willingness to plunge into those areas other thriller writers shy away from; while the surface of the book has all the disturbing filigrees one might expect, this book (like its predecessors) is very much a novel of character.” —Crime Time

“Cross is a wonderful writer, full of mordant psychological insights. . . . Britain’s own Stephen King.” —The Guardian

“Cross’s clear, precise style makes for a compelling, read-in-one-sitting thriller. Yet there is more to this novel—brooding questions of morality, mortality and responsibility.” —The Word

“Typically gripping.” —Uncut

“Original and thoughtful . . . an authentic, unsparing vision of goodwill undone by misfortune.” —The Times Literary Supplement

“Gripping.” —The Scotsman

“Once again, Neil Cross proves that he’s not just a master of suspense, but horror too. Reading his ultra-crisp prose and expertly structured tales, it’s not hard to see why he’s also an...
