Find You First: A Novel

Written by Linwood Barclay

Narrated by George Newbern

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 has recently been diagnosed with a terminal illness, and there is a fifty 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 twenty-two 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’s 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 . . .

[Troy Tate · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This was a great read. The narrator was superb. I loved the key characters – – Miles and Chloe. I loved the relationship that developed between them as things went crazy around them. I strongly recommend this book as an audiobook. I’m sure it would be great to read it, but it is even better to listen to it. The violence had me squeamish but I still would give it five stars..

[Robert Mann · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Excellent book, the story moves from beginning to end. It kept me guessing. Full of action, some devious characteristics and others on the other side of the human spectrum. The author in my point of view has as great understanding of humanities heart. People discovering life, growth, deception and love. Great story, both well written and read.
