They'll never grow up…

For over forty years, a nightmare has terrorized the quiet countryside in southeast England. Children vanish. Always six years old. Always in the dead of night. Nothing left behind except a chilling note from "The Never Man." The children are never found…until their bodies turn up a decade later, aged sixteen, lifeless. Like forgotten dolls.

Then the abductions stopped. Local parents dared to believe the horror was over. But fifteen years later, when a young boy vanishes under the same eerie circumstances, the familiar terror returns. So does the one man who nearly caught the killer.

Former Detective James Holding—known as "Captain Hook" after a brutal encounter with the killer cost him his hand—has been chasing this monster for most of his long career. Now retired and broken, he's dragged back into a twisted game that seems written purely for him.

As Holding opens new wounds and follows new leads, he realizes The Never Man has changed the rules, and the tangled web that Holding uncovers will alter not just his future, but what he believes to be his past.

This time, it's personal. Because in this Neverland, no one stays young forever.

Fans of "The Crucifix Killer" by Chris Carter, "The Whisper Man" by Alex North, "The Final Child" by Fran Dorricott, and the movie "Weapons" will enjoy "The Never Man."
