Fiendish Freeman

My latest stand-alone thriller I REMEMBER YOU arrives on August 9. Pre-order your copy now!

Here’s what Kirkus said in their starred review:

“Fasten your seatbelts. Fiendish Freeman has engineered another peerlessly bumpy ride….Wheels within wheels within wheels, cunningly intermeshed by a master who sweats every nightmarish detail.”

Fiendish Freeman. I think I need a T-shirt that says that.

THE URSULINA is Here

“I know you’ll never forgive me for what I did.”

That’s the opening line of my new book, THE URSULINA, which is available right now in hardcover, paperback, e-book, and audio. It’s a novel that goes hand in hand with my New York Times bestseller THE DEEP, DEEP SNOW — and yet it also stands on its own.

THE URSULINA is told by a young sheriff’s deputy named Rebecca Colder. Rebecca lives in a remote area called Black Wolf County that is being stalked by a killer hiding behind the legend of the Ursulina…a Bigfoot-like creature that supposedly haunts the forest. The search for the truth about the Ursulina will change Rebecca’s entire life and force her to confront an excruciating decision.

You can get your copy today and follow Rebecca as she tells you the shocking story of the Ursulina. And the ending will stay with you for a long, long time.

The Riddle of Shelby Lake

“I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about who I am, because I don’t know where I came from. I’m a mystery to myself.”

That’s what Deputy Shelby Lake tells us at the beginning of my novel THE DEEP, DEEP SNOW. In addition to wrestling with the disappearance of a young boy, Shelby also wrestles with her own past. She was left on a doorstep when she was just a baby, and she never knew the identity of her mother — or why she was abandoned. Those questions have always haunted her.

Shelby’s riddle lingers over THE DEEP, DEEP SNOW, which was an Edgar Award finalist and a New York Times bestseller. Now the answer to the riddle is here.

THE URSULINA tells the story of Shelby’s mother, a woman named Rebecca Colder. When she was just a girl, Rebecca came face to face with what she believed to be a mythical beast called The Ursulina…a monster like Bigfoot or Sasquatch. Ever since, she’s been obsessed with finding the Ursulina again. That quest will become enmeshed with the struggle of Rebecca’s job, life, and marriage — and it will lead her inexorably to the most excruciating choice a mother can make.

This novel may be the most emotional story I’ve ever written. I hope you enjoy the tale of Rebecca and The Ursulina. It’s available now exclusively from Audible — with amazing narration by actress January LaVoy — and the print and e-book editions will follow on February 1.

Something Special

I love to see this Bookreporter.com review of INFINITE: “It is so rare to have a psychological thriller that not only completely succeeds…but also plays with your heartstrings, leaving behind an incredibly memorable reading experience. INFINITE is something special, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.”
You can find the whole review here. The reviewer, Ray Palen, really captures what I was trying to do with this novel — write a very, very different thriller that has all the twists and turns of my other books, but is an emotional novel of redemption at its core. To me, as Ray says, it’s something special. I hope you come along for the ride!

INFINITE

It’s here…my new stand-alone thriller INFINITE is available now in hardcover, paperback, e-book, and audio!

WHAT EARLY READERS ARE SAYING

“Wow…hands down the best thing you have written and I love your work.”
“I could not put it down! What a great ride”
“Absolutely brilliant”
“Captivating, enchanting, surreal, original, spellbinding, fascinating”

This is the most unusual story I’ve ever told — but also a classic Brian Freeman thriller. It’s full of twists and suspense to keep you turning the pages. It’s also a very human story of redemption, as Dylan Moran tries to reclaim his life from the mistakes of his past.

My Personal Favorite

Readers have waited a long time for a print edition of my Audible Original THE DEEP, DEEP SNOW. It’s finally here! The paperback is available right now (and, of course, it’s still available in e-book and audio). Click here to find it on Amazon.
 
For years, you’ve asked me: What’s your favorite novel of all the books you’ve written? That’s always been a hard question for me to answer, because after 22 novels, I love each of my stories in a different way. But THE DEEP, DEEP SNOW may well be my personal favorite among my books.
 
This small-town mystery has a heroine I love – a young sheriff’s deputy named Shelby Lake – and an emotional core that left me in tears when I was writing it. It’s the story of the disappearance of a ten-year-old boy, an event that ripples through the lives of everyone in Mittel County. But it’s also a story of fathers and daughters, of friendships and memories, of good intentions gone terribly wrong.
 
I hope you fall in love with Shelby and the people around her the way I did – and when you read it, I think you’ll see why this particular book has a very special place in my heart.
