Find You First

The New York Times bestselling author of ELEVATOR PITCH and master of psychological suspense returns with a riveting thriller in which the possible heirs of a dying tech millionaire are mysteriously being eliminated, one by one.

“FIND YOU FIRST starts with a bang and ends with an even bigger one.... It’s the best book of his career.”
     — Stephen King

Tech millionaire Miles Cookson has more money than he can ever spend, and everything he could dream of --- except time. He recently has been diagnosed with a terminal illness, and there is a 50 percent chance that it can be passed on to the next generation. For Miles, this means taking a long hard look at his past.

Two decades ago, a young, struggling Miles was a sperm donor. Somewhere out there, he has kids --- nine of them. And they might be about to inherit both the good and the bad from him --- maybe his fortune, or maybe something much worse.

As Miles begins to search for the children he’s never known, aspiring film documentarian Chloe Swanson embarks on a quest to find her biological father, armed with the knowledge that 22 years ago, her mother used a New York sperm bank to become pregnant.

When Miles and Chloe eventually connect, their excitement at finding each other is overshadowed by a series of mysterious and terrifying events. One by one, Miles’ other potential heirs are vanishing --- every trace of them wiped, like they never existed at all.

Who is the vicious killer --- another heir methodically erasing rivals? Or is something even more sinister going on?

It’s a deadly race against time.
