The day she left was only the beginning . . .

Sam was eleven when his mother went out and never came back. He waited for her and then he grieved for her, as his family fell apart around him.

Sam tried to get on with his life in the intervening years. But it's only as his father lies dying that Sam begins to realise the cracks and inconsistencies in their family history.

Who was his mother and why did she need to disappear? Why cover it up? As Sam searches for answers, and the trial leads him from the UK to the US, danger builds around him . . .

Taut, thrilling and full of tension, YOU NEVER SAID GOODBYE is about a man who discovers his entire life is built on lies. But what price is the truth?

Reviews
Grips from the first page to the last. A UK thriller writer that gives giants like Linwood Barclay and Harlan Coben a run for their money -- Mark Billingham
Local Woman Missing meets The Fugitive, You Never Said Goodbye breathes new life into the psychological thriller genre with a captivating and gripping storyline that is part missing person mystery, part all out action thriller. A heart-in-mouth story that will pull at your heart strings and keep you on the edge of your seat, You Never Said Goodbye is everything I look for in an action thriller. I couldn't put it down * C.L. Taylor *
A truly pulse-pounding thriller. The relentless tension is leavened only by its heart-rending emotion * Christopher Brookmyre *
A barnstorming, rocket-paced thriller about an ordinary man thrown into an extraordinary situation. Fans of John Connolly and Linwood Barclay will love it * Mark Edwards *

Action packed suspense * The Sunday Times Crime Club *
This is an electrifying edge-of-the-seat thriller, a must-read for fans of Harlan Coben * Candis *

There are many gasp-inducing revelations before skilful writer Veste produces a gripping and surprise climax. * Peterborough Telegraph *
