Created by Jeffrey Deaver
In The Never Game (2019), horror/thriller writer Jeffrey Deaver launched a new series featuring oddball COLTER SHAW, the extremely competent son of a tight-knit survivalist family in remote California, which has left him with, as they say, a “very particular set of skills.”
Colter’s not exactly a detective, though–he’s more of a tracker, specializing in traveling the country (he’s got a bad case of wanderlust) to help police solve crimes and private citizens locate missing persons.
If it pays enough.
He calls himself a “reward seeker.”
Colter might be a weirdo, but his compelling background, and plots with more tangles than a pillowcase of Slinkys–like, some whack job collecting people to act out scenes from a video game — ought to be enough to satisfy most readers.
