The Day He Never Came Home - Andrew DeYoung

A twisty, compelling domestic thriller that asks the question, how far will a desperate woman go to save herself and her children?

Regan Peters knows her financial advisor husband John, despite how mysterious he is about his past, wants to give her and their children a good life. His long work hours prove his dedication, and that’s been enough for her to get through the hard days. Until the FBI shows up at their front door looking for John, and Regan learns that her husband has been running a Ponzi scheme, is mixed up with dangerous criminals, and has been living under an assumed identity all these years. Everything she has ever known has been part of one big lie.

That includes the outrageous birthday present John gifted her the day before he disappeared—a lake house...bought with cash, and put in her name only. When faced with her life falling apart around her, Regan must make a split second decision: does she tell the FBI about the house? Or does she buy some time to forge her own path to saving herself? But one compromise inevitably leads to another, and one dangerous secret builds on the next.

When her lies of omission to the FBI agents begin to raise questions, Regan becomes inextricably embroiled in John’s crimes, the true extent of which are just beginning to be revealed. Faced with the end of her comfortable life, Regan will do anything to protect herself, her children, and her future—and that means anything.
