Never Back Down

Praise for Never Back Down:
“​Red meat for thrill-seekers . . . [An] ​I-demand-that-you-catch-me-if-you-can premise.”
—Kirkus Reviews

“Swann has a true gift for writing genuinely flawed characters that are so sympathetic they still win me all the way over, and this talent is on full display in Never Back Down. I love Suzie Faulkner for her huge heart, her smart mouth, and her extremely poor impulse control. Never Back Down is a wild ride worthy of this gold standard series; I’ll follow Suzie anywhere.”
—Joshilyn Jackson, New York Times and USA Today bestselling novelist 

“In the thriller world there are bricklayers, there are architects . . . and then there is Christopher Swann. The Faulkner Family saga is one of the most audacious and original series in recent memory and Never Back Down is Swann’s masterstroke. The action comes early and often, the plotting wildly entertaining at a tempo that makes reading this novel feel like holding a lit stick of dynamite. But Swann’s profound talents shine with his diverse and dazzling cast of characters. Suzie Faulkner is a marvel—smart, sassy and tender-hearted but always ready to kick ass and take names. Yet what makes her so special is Swann’s ability to draw a relatable and flawed heroine rife with conflicting emotions and insecurities. Fans of Harlen Coben, Karin Slaughter & thriller fanatics coast to coast, take note: Never Back Down is the book of the summer and one of the most exhilarating novels of the year.”
—Peter Farris, author of Last Call for the Living & The Devil Himself
