Never Forget cover

A gripping tale of suspense, Never Forget explores the consequences of a tragic fall and the dark quest for revenge that follows.

In Never Forget, the story unfolds around Jamal, a passionate runner whose life takes a dark turn when he witnesses a woman fall from a cliff. As he trains on a familiar path, he encounters a distressing scene that quickly spirals into chaos. In mere moments, the woman plummets to the beach below, leaving Jamal as an unwilling bystander caught in a web of suspicion and intrigue. His account of the event clashes with other eyewitnesses, raising questions about the nature of the incident and the red scarf that adorns the deceased's neck.

As the investigation deepens, it becomes evident that this tragedy may not have been an accident. The narrative thickens with the possibility of a sinister plot, meticulously crafted by someone seeking revenge. Jamal finds himself navigating a landscape filled with deception, where past grievances intertwine with present dangers. The tension mounts as he tries to unravel the truth, all while grappling with his own role in the unfolding drama.

Never Forget is a masterfully woven tale filled with unexpected twists and turns that keep readers on the edge of their seats. Michel Bussi’s storytelling prowess shines as he delves into themes of memory, guilt, and the lengths to which individuals will go for vengeance. This gripping novel invites readers to question the reliability of perception and the shadows cast by the past, making it a compelling read from start to finish.

A labyrinth as exhilarating as anything in Bussi's breakthrough novel, After the Crash. * The Sunday Times (Crime Book of the Month) *

Never Forget wittily explodes the whole concept of the serial killer sub-genre. The result is outrageously entertaining.

* The Times *
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. * Shots Magazine *

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...
