The twisty, addictive, bestselling thriller from a writer who loves nothing more than to play with your mind . . .

'Nail-biting!' TESS GERRITSEN

'Spine-tingling!' LISA GARDNER

Twelve-year-old Barney Roberts is obsessed with a series of murders.

He knows the victims are all boys, just like him.
He knows the bodies were found on river banks.
And he’s sure the killer will strike again soon.

But there’s something else, a secret he’d rather not know, a secret he is too scared to share . . .
And who would believe a twelve-year-old boy anyway?

*LIKE THIS, FOR EVER is published as LOST in the US*

Praise for Like This, For Ever

Bolton rules the world of psychological thrillers

Nina Sankovitch, Huffington Post

Ingenious

Washington Post

Close-to-the-bone red herrings skillfully strewn across the detectives’ paths, convincing cop-shop procedure, and perceptively drawn secondary characters help push this contemporary crime novel ahead of the pack . . . Bolton looks deep into the lost-soul madness of a killer and makes her vision all too horribly real.

RT BookReviews

Bolton sets aside the gothic-tinged atmosphere of her early novels in favor of a more visceral sensibility, exerting immediate and continuing pull by stepping in and out of an unnamed killer’s mind . . . a nail-biting thriller

Publishers Weekly
