‘Agatha Christie updated and then cranked up to 11: a blast’ Shots Magazine
Jamal loves to run. But one morning – as he is training on a path winding up a steep cliff – he stumbles across a woman in distress. It’s a matter of seconds: suddenly she is falling through the air, crashing on the beach below.
Jamal is only an unlucky bystander – or is he?
His version of events doesn’t seem to fit with what other eyewitnesses claim to have seen. And how to explain the red scarf carefully arranged around the dead woman’s neck? Perhaps this was no accident after all.
Or perhaps there is something more sinister afoot – a devilish plan decades in the making, masterminded by someone hell-bent on revenge.

Reviews
Agatha Christie updated (with sex, DNA samples and that modern staple, the mobile phone) then cranked up to 11, and the reader will not mind that one jot as they go along for the ride: it's a blast.
Some writers try carefully calibrated alternations on a winning formula from book to book, but offer few surprises. That can't be said of the French author Michel Bussi... That refusal to repeat himself is evident in Don't Let Go, which is just as accomplished as its predecessors.
PRAISE FOR MICHEL BUSSI'S NOVELS
A novel so extraordinary that it reminded me of reading Steig Larsson for the very first time . . . Bussi breaks every rule in the book, but I doubt I'll read a more brilliant crime novel this year
A labyrinth as exhilarating as anything in Bussi's breakthrough novel, After the Crash.
As it draws towards its heart-pounding final pages, it's hard to concentrate on anything other than the outcome of the desperate manhunt - and the startling revelation of the truth. Inventive, original and incredibly entertaining.
A thrilling ride across the remote isle in the Indian Ocean with plenty of twists and turns to keep readers gripped until an epic, unexpected conclusion.
Combines an extraordinarily inventive plot with characters haunted by long-ago events - and demonstrates why he has such a hold on readers.
The novel ends with one of the most reverberating shocks in modern crime fiction.
Never Forget wittily explodes the whole concept of the serial killer sub-genre. The result is outrageously entertaining.
Clear your schedule: this book is worth it!
You find yourself quite frantic to know the truth, before this cleverly constructed, smart mystery concludes by delivering a delicious sting in the tail.
A dazzling, unexpected and haunting masterpiece.
A work of genius.
