Bloomsbury presents If Something Happens to Me by Alex Finlay, read by John Pirhalla, Paul Dateh and Helen Laser.

From the critically acclaimed author of Every Last Fear and The Night Shift, a gripping thriller about one young man's search for the truth after an inexplicable crime leaves his world torn apart.

The car door ripped open. The crushing blow to the head. Hands yanking him from the vehicle. His girlfriend’s piercing scream…

For the past five years, Ryan Richardson has relived that terrible night. With no trace of Ali after she is abducted, a cloud of suspicion hangs over him, though he is never charged. Trying to put his past behind him, Ryan changes his name and enters law school.

It’s on a summer trip to Italy that he gets the call: his missing car has finally been found, in a lake in his hometown. But inside the car are two dead men. The only trace of Ali is a cryptic note, the envelope in her handwriting stating: If something happens to me…

Reeling from the news, Ryan sees the man who has haunted his nightmares since the night Ali was taken. But how could that be possible, so far from home? His search for answers leads him to rural England, and Paris, but the truth may lie in the shape of two very different people back in the USA…

If Something Happens to Me is a compelling story perfect for fans of Peter Swanson and Karin Slaughter. With twist after pulse-pounding twist, it showcases Alex Finlay as one of the leading thriller writers today.
