Mike Wingate had a rough childhood—he was abandoned at a playground at four years old and raised in foster care. No one ever came to claim him, and he has only a few, fragmented memories of his parents. Now, as an adult, Mike is finally living the life he had always wanted—he’s happily married to Annabel, the woman of his dreams; they have a precocious eight-year-old daughter, Kat; and his construction company is about to finish a “green” housing development that will secure a solid future for them all. Then the unimaginable happens: Something from Mike’s own past, a past he doesn’t even remember, comes back to visit terror upon him and his family.
Menacing characters show up and begin threatening Mike, and when he reports them, the police seem more interested in Mike’s murky past than in investigating or protecting his young family. Now, with Mike, his wife, and their daughter suddenly under attack from all sides, Mike must turn to Shep, a truly dangerous man—and Mike’s only true friend—from their childhood days together in foster care. Together, the two of them will do whatever it takes to protect Mike’s family against the hidden men behind the terrifying warning “You’re Next!”

"Looking for a great thriller? Well, Gregg Hurwitz has done it again with his latest YOU'RE NEXT. A rollercoaster ride featuring heroes so spot-on you can't help but fear for and villains so terrifying you can only pray never drop into your life. Hurwitz's dialogue is some of the best in print. Fantastic read."
— Deborah (5 out of 5 stars)

— Vibeke, 1/30/2014" really enjoyed the book a fast paced thriller with many turns , was a page turner from beginning to end scary in parts "
— Stephen, 1/6/2014" This book started out great, got very tedious during the middle with not much happening, and the ending was disappointing, however the backstory and character build up was excellent. Expected a lot more from this but it just failed to deliver. "

— Tim, 12/21/2013" I haven't read a lot of books by Hurwitz. This was a very good book. The plot was a little bit of a stretch but he did well in setting it up and getting the story line resolved. "
— Steve, 12/2/2013" Loved it! Read (listened) to it through Audible. Was not previously familiar with Gregg Hurwitz, but received a recommendation through Audible (based on my history). Very suspenseful. If you like P.T. Deutermann's thrillers, I've got to believe that you'd enjoy this too. "
— Mitch, 12/1/2013" really good twists and turns "
— Lil, 11/9/2013" I think I'm going to pick up the book to this one. I liked the audio book but I feel like I missed stuff. It was very entertaining but maybe thrillers like this are better read than listened to. "

— Chris, 8/18/2013" An amazingly well-written mystery. It was almost impossible to figure out why the main character and his family were being targeted. And when you do, what a surprise! A great read! "
