Newport Beach luxuriated in spring warmth when David Thorne arrived late on the afternoon of March twenty-sixth. “I ask you the same question every time,” Charlie said, “and you always have a different bullshit answer.” She is lost, and he must find her, but she leaves no trail, no footprints or spoor of any kind, and the way is dark, for she has gone into the forest of the night, where the trees are black and leafless, where the moon and stars do not exist, where the sun will never rise, where the path is ever downward, yet he descends in a desperate search, for she does not belong here among the dead, not when she is so alive in his mind and heart, does not belong here, does not belong here, and although finding her is his only hope of joy, his only reason to exist, there are moments when he senses her within arm’s reach in the blinding darkness-and terror wakes him. But then he meets Maddison, a woman who seems exactly like the love he lost. It's been ten years since Emily was presumed to have been killed by a serial killer, and her partner David is still determined to figure out what happened. We are thrilled to reveal the cover of this gripping new thriller, which will be released in March 2021. The following is an exclusive excerpt from The Other Emily, by Dean Koontz.
