- - THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER - -I was the girl who survived the Nothing Man.Now I am the woman who is going to catch him...At the age of twelve, Eve Black was the only member of her family to survive an encounter with serial attacker the Nothing Man. Now an adult, she is obsessed with identifying the man who destroyed her life. Supermarket security guard Jim Doyle has just started reading The Nothing Man -- the true-crime memoir Eve has written about her efforts to track down her familys killer. As he turns each page, his rage grows. Because Jims not just interested in reading about the Nothing Man. He is the Nothing Man. Jim soon begins to realize how dangerously close Eve is getting to the truth. He knows she wont give up until she finds him. He has no choice but to stop her first ... Review Fiendishly clever...Howard uses serial killer tropes in original and surprising ways in this tour de force. -- Publisher Weekly (starred review) Gripping, beautifully written, and genuinely chilling, The Nothing Man had me from page one. Simply stellar. -- Meg Gardiner, Edgar Award-winning author of The Dark Corners of the Night The Nothing Man is the most original and chilling thriller Ive read in a long time, and is perfect for fans of Serial and The Fall. -- Mark Edwards, bestselling author of The House Guest Expertly crafted -- storytelling at its best. -- Patricia Gibney, bestselling author of The Missing Ones A book to steal your waking hours and haunt your sleeping ones. Chilling and brilliant. -- Cass Green, award-winning author of In a Cottage in a Wood The queen of high-concept crime fiction strikes again: this is the first novel Ive read that really captures the chills and twists of the true crime that obsesses us. Catherine Ryan Howard has always been thrillingly good at what she does but shes just getting better and better with every book. -- Jane Casey, author of the Maeve Kerrigan novels I was truly blown away and couldnt read it fast enough. I cant shower it with enough praise. Terrifying, brilliantly plotted, and extremely satisfying. -- Jo Spain, bestselling author of With Our Blessing Whip-smart, thrilling, and utterly compelling. -- Liz Nugent, bestselling author of Lying in Wait [A] compulsive thriller...Those familiar with Michelle McNamaras Ill Be Gone in the Dark, which inspired Howard, may spot similarities between the Nothing Man and the real-life Golden State Killer, but Howard (nominated for an Edgar for The Liars Girl) takes her story in other directions. The Nothing Man is an ingenious nesting doll, revealing surprises in alternating chapters from Eves book and those from the killers point of view as he reads said book. Howard can paint moving depictions of grief and survivors guilt while terrifying readers and making them triple-check the locks on their doors. This isnt nothing; its the authors best work yet. -- Shelf Awareness (starred review) This is probably one of the best books I ever read...I absolutely loved the book within a book format...The author did a fantastic job, and if you are a fan of Meg Gardiner, which I am, you will love this book. -- Seattle Book Review It might be cliche to say that a strong storytelling tradition runs in Irish genes, but...Cork native and current Dubliner Catherine Ryan Howard would seem to be indicative of this...This juxtaposition of predator and prey -- and the underlying question of just who is which -- renders the stakes breathtakingly high. Its a clever, meta construct -- and one the author fully, and frankly, embraces... The Nothing Man is clearly influenced by Michelle McNamaras Ill Be Gone In The Dark...but dont be mistaken: its still very much a work of fiction, albeit one thats grounded in the realities of crime, recidivism, and victimization. The Nothing Man himself may be quite ordinary, but Catherine Ryan Howards book-within-a-
