Title: Find You In the Dark

Author: Nathan Ripley

Published: June 2018, Atria Books

Format: Hardcover, 368 pages

Summary: 

In this chilling and disquieting debut thriller perfect for fans of Caroline Kepnes’s Hidden Bodies and
Jeff Lindsay’s Dexter series, a family man with a habit of digging up
the past catches the attention of a serial killer who wants anything but
his secrets uncovered.

For years, unbeknownst to his wife and
teenage daughter, Martin Reese has been illegally buying police files on
serial killers and obsessively studying them, using them as guides to
find the missing bodies of victims. He doesn’t take any souvenirs, just
photos that he stores in an old laptop, and then he turns in the results
anonymously. Martin sees his work as a public service, a righting of
wrongs.

Detective Sandra Whittal sees the situation differently.
On a meteoric rise in police ranks due to her case‑closing efficiency,
Whittal is suspicious of the mysterious source she calls the Finder,
especially since he keeps leading the police right to the bodies. Even
if he isn’t the one leaving bodies behind, how can she be sure he won’t
start soon?

On his latest dig, Martin searches for the first kill
of Jason Shurn, the early 1990s murderer who may have been responsible
for the disappearance of his wife’s sister. But when he arrives at the
site, he finds more than just bones. There’s a freshly killed body—a
young and missing Seattle woman—lying among remains that were left there
decades ago. Someone else knew where Jason Shurn left the corpses of
his victims…and that someone isn’t happy that Martin has been going
around digging up his work. And when a crooked cop with a tenuous tie to
Martin vanishes, Whittal begins to zero in on the Finder.

Hunted
by a real killer and by Whittal, Martin realizes that in order to
escape, he may have to go deeper into the killer’s dark world than he
ever thought…

wickedly smart thriller that manages to be both chilling and wry. The

think you’ve got a grasp on it, the story twists to new and darker
places.”—Amy Stuart, bestselling author of Still Mine

not always easy diving into the mind of an obsessive protagonist, but
Martin Reese’s fixation on finding dead bodies makes for one heck of an
