The Match

In this gripping new thriller from the No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling author and creator of The Stranger, Wilde follows a lead that he hopes will finally solve the mystery of his abandonment. Instead, it leads him straight into the arms of a serial killer.

As a small child, Wilde was found in the Ramapo Mountains of New Jersey, where he lived a wild existence. He grew up knowing nothing about his family and even less about his own identity.

He is simply known as Wilde, the boy from the woods.

But when a hit in an online ancestry search brings him to the trail of a close relative – the first family member he has ever known – he thinks he is on the verge of solving the mystery of who he really is. However, this relative disappears as quickly as they appeared after experiencing an epic fall from grace that can only be described as a nightmare.

Undeterred, Wilde continues his research on DNA websites, where he becomes embroiled in a community of doxxers, a secret group dedicated to exposing anonymous online trolls.

Then these doxxers begin to die one by one, and it soon becomes clear that a serial killer has targeted this secret community – and that his next victim may very well be Wilde himself.
