“This is a fast-paced thriller, full of intrigue and plot twists that keep you guessing what’s going to happen next! I could easily picture this as an action-packed movie. The book is told from multiple perspectives, with several story lines to follow, but they all tie together and keep your heart racing as you unravel multiple mysteries. ”

“Alex Finley does it again in this fast moving psychological thriller. Ryan and Ali are ready to graduate and move on from their small town lives out into the big, wide world. But Ali disappears in one terrifying moment. Five years later, Ryan is struggling to live his life as a law student on a trip to Italy when his nightmare comes to life. Add in a Philadelphia mobster, suspicious FBI agents, and some cloak and dagger hijinks, and a globe trotting caper is born. Un-put-downable!”

A USA Today Bestseller!
From “one of the genre’s most exciting voices” (E! News) comes one of the year’s most-anticipated thrillers.
For the past five years, Ryan Richardson has relived that terrible night. The car door ripping open. The crushing blow to the head. The hands yanking him from the vehicle. His girlfriend Ali’s piercing scream as she is taken.
With no trace of Ali or the car, a cloud of suspicion hangs over Ryan. But with no proof and a good lawyer, he’s never charged, though that doesn’t matter to the podcasters and internet trolls. Now, Ryan has changed his last name, and entered law school. He's put his past behind him.
Until, on a summer trip abroad to Italy with his law-school classmates, Ryan gets a call from his father: Ali's car has finally been found, submerged in a lake in his hometown. Inside are two dead men and a cryptic note with five words written on the envelope in Ali’s handwriting: If something happens to me…
Then, halfway around the world, the unthinkable happens: Ryan sees the man who has haunted his dreams since that night.
As Ryan races from the rolling hills of Tuscany, to a rural village in the UK, to the glittering streets of Paris in search of the truth, he has no idea that his salvation may lie with a young sheriff’s deputy in Kansas working her first case, and a mobster in Philadelphia who’s experienced tragedy of his own.
In classic Alex Finlay form, If Something Happens to Me is told by several distinct, compelling characters whose paths intersect, detonating into a story of twist after pulse-pounding twist. The novel cements Finlay as one of the leading thriller writers today.
