"Never Say Goodbye is a moving love story, a searing family drama, a stomach-churning thriller and one hell of a tale well-told. Go ahead and try to put it down."?Bryan Gruley, Edgar nominated author ofStarvation Lake, "NEVER WAVE GOODBYE opens with one of the strongest dramatic twists I've read in a long time, but Doug Magee is truly just getting started.'In this'suburban nightmare scenario that brings to mind the best of Harlan Coben and?Linwood Barclay, Magee'proves himself to be'a powerful new voice who separates'from the pack'by paying as much attention to'human relationships as he does plot twists."?--Michael Koryta, author of?SO COLD THE RIVER, "Don't get on the bus--unless you're looking for a terrifying read. Magee shifts the suspense into Drive in chapter one--and then we're off on a chilling ride to scream land."--R.L. Stine, "Giving nothing away, this thriller leaves you hanging on till the very end to learn who kidnapped four children on their way to camp and why. The interweaving of the stories of the children, their parents, and the kidnappers creates a delicious knot of mystery and culpability that isn't fully untangled until the redemptive finale."—Paul Doiron, author ofThe Poacher's Son, "NEVER SAY GOODBYE blasts right out of the chute with a terrifying premise and doesn't ease up until the final pages. ?It's a wrenching first novel that grips the reader personally and emotionally and makes one ask, 'What wouldIdo in similar circumstances?'"?-- C.J. Box, Edgar-winning author of NOWHERE TO RUN, "A page turner of the first order. Scary and believable."—Robert Dugoni,New York Timesbestselling author ofBodily Harm

Synopsis
"One thing I've always liked about Hollywood is its zip, or speed. The whole industry depends to some extent on talent spotting. The hundreds of agents, studio executives, and producers who roam the streets of the city of Los Angeles let very little in the way of talent slip by." In this final installment of the memoir trilogy that includes Books and Literary Life , Larry McMurtry, "the master of the show-stopping anecdote" ( O: The Oprah Magazine ) turns his own keenly observing eye to his rollercoaster romance with Hollywood. As both the creator of numerous works successfully adapted by others for film and television ( Terms of Endearment , Lonesome Dove , and the Emmy-nominated The Murder of Mary Phagan ) and the author of screenplays including The Last Picture Show (with Peter Bogdanovich), Streets of Laredo , and the Oscar-winning Brokeback Mountain (both with longtime writing partner Diana Ossana), McMurtry has seen all the triumphs and frustrations that Tinseltown has to offer a writer, and he recounts them in a voice unfettered by sentiment and yet tinged with his characteristic wry humor. Beginning with his sudden entr e into the world of film as the author of Horseman, Pass By --adapted into the Paul Newman-starring Hud in 1963--McMurtry regales readers with anecdotes that find him holding hands with Cybill Shepherd, watching Jennifer Garner's audition tape, and taking lunch at Chasen's again and again. McMurtry fans and Hollywood hopefuls alike will find much to cherish in these pages, as McMurtry illuminates life behind the scenes in America's dream factory., "One thing I've always liked about Hollywood is its zip, or speed.
