Publisher's summary

Mike Wingate, abandoned by his father at four and raised in foster care, is finally living the life he always dreamed of - he's happily married with a precocious 8-year-old daughter, and his construction company is about to finish a "green" housing development that will secure a solid future for them all. But then something from his own past, a past he doesn't even remember, comes back to visit terror upon him and his family.

Shady characters begin threatening Mike, and when he reports them, the police seem more interested in Mike's murky past than in protecting him. Now, with Mike, his wife Annabel and daughter Kat suddenly under attack from all sides, Mike turns to Shep, a dangerous man - and Mike's only true friend - from his childhood days in foster care. Together they will do whatever it takes to protect Mike's family against the hidden men behind the terrifying warning, "You're Next."

Critic reviews

"Excellent...keeps Mike (and the reader) on edge, wondering what is happening to him and how far it will escalate. Highly recommended to Hurwitz’s many faithful readers and to fans of Linwood Barclay, Harlen Coben, and Lisa Gardner." --Booklist

"The bad guys are suitably evil and the mystery satisfying, but Hurwitz’s real success is depicting Mike’s hard-won life as a husband, father, and successful businessman. A first-rate thriller!" --Library Journal (starred review)

"Hurwitz masterfully provokes feelings of extreme dread...Shep and Mike fight and sleuth their way through intensifying mayhem until they find the unexpected answer...." --Publishers Weekly

Hard to let go

Great book. The real hero here is Shepherd ( Shep ). Without him !!! Nothing would have been possible. Stamina plus loyalty = friendship
Listen to the book, you'll get it.

Nail Biter!

Where does You're Next rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I normally like a softer read, but I really got caught up in this story. I will definitely try another from this author when I am ready for something more high risk again.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes, this story definitely keeps you on the edge of your seat. It didn't start out that way, but after about 3 or 4 hours the story really ramped up.

Any additional comments?

Some of the images described were disturbing to me, but they are well written and the story has a good ending.
