JASON STARR’S NEW PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER

VANESSA’S MEN

What if the man you lost never really left?

“Jason Starr is hypnotically good. Some of the best new writing there is.” — LEE CHILD

Nineteen years ago, Vanessa Rizzo’s fiancé vanished without warning—no goodbye, no explanation, no trace. She built a new life on top of that unanswered question: a marriage, two teenage sons, a polished Upper East Side world that finally feels safe.

Then she sees him on a Manhattan street.

Days later, her husband disappears.

Suddenly the life Vanessa fought to protect is under investigation—by the police, by her neighbors, by the people who think they know her best. The past she buried has begun to move inside the present, and every answer leads to a more terrifying question:

How many times can one woman lose the man she loves?

Propulsive, emotionally charged, and impossible to put down, VANESSA’S MEN is a novel about marriage, memory, and the moment an ordinary life turns dangerous.
