A tracker enters Silicon Valley’s game

Colter Shaw’s work as a reward seeker brings him to Silicon Valley after a young woman disappears. His search places the novel at the intersection of missing-person investigations and the billion-dollar video-game industry, where the question of whether someone is turning a game into real-world danger becomes part of the case. As another person goes missing, Shaw also finds that someone is tracking him. The first book in Deaver’s Colter Shaw series, it connects its crime-thriller premise to the culture of game designers, gamers, and technology executives.

Book overview

The first installment in Jeffery Deaver's Colter Shaw series--the inspiration for the CBS original series TRACKER starring Justin Hartley!

The son of a survivalist family, Colter Shaw is an expert tracker. Now he makes a living as a "reward seeker," traveling the country to help police solve crimes and locate missing persons for private citizens.

"You've been abandoned. Escape if you can. Or die with dignity."

Hired by the father of a young woman who has gone missing in Silicon Valley, Shaw's search takes him into the dark heart of America's cutthroat billion-dollar video-game industry. When another person goes missing, Shaw must ask: Is a madman bringing a twisted video game to life?

Encountering eccentric designers, trigger-happy gamers, and ruthless tech titans, Shaw soon learns that he isn't the only one on the hunt: someone is on his trail and closing fast....

Named a Crime Novel of the Year by The New York Times Book Review, The Never Game proves once more why "Deaver is a genius when it comes to manipulation and deception" (Associated Press).
