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 back home. 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 . . .
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)
