Nina Morgan’s blood-stained car was found a decade ago on a lonely Florida road. Forensic evidence suggested she’d been murdered, although her body was never found.

Her disappearance left her infant children to the care of their father.

Once a pilot, mother, wife, and witness to a gruesome crime, Nina had to flee her old life to save her family.

She reinvented herself as Leah Trenton, a guide in the Allagash Wilderness in northern Maine.

She never expected to see her children again, but now tragedy has returned them to her—only they have no idea that she’s their mother—and delivered all of them back into danger. “Aunt Leah” will need some help, and an old ally has a suggestion: an enigmatic young hitman named Dax Blackwell.

Koryta is one of my favourite authors. This 2021 book is one of his best.

Most impressive are his villains. Dax Blackwell is fascinating.

Koryta’s “Those Who Wish Me Dead” should be released in film in 2021.

Rights to “Never Far Away” have also been acquired.
