Never Say Die, Meredith Doench’s latest gripping thriller, is receiving strong advance praise.
"Never Say Die careens through the gritty Midwest at breakneck speed as it plunges the reader into a parent’s worst nightmare: a missing child. With equal parts heart and terror, Doench explores what one mother will do to find her daughter, and what one cop will do to keep her own past hidden. It’s a novel about the bonds of love and the bounds of the law, and is Doench at the top of her game," said Erin Flanagan, Edgar Award-winning author.
The book will be published by Bold Strokes Books on March 10 and is available for pre-orders now.
Doench, who teaches creative writing and literature at the University of Dayton, is the author of the Luce Hansen sapphic thriller series and the stand-alone novels, Never Say Die and Whereabouts Unknown. She is an avid armchair detective and amateur web sleuth who loves all things mystery.
Doench’s works of short fiction and nonfiction have appeared in literary journals such as Hayden’s Ferry Review, Women’s Studies Quarterly and The Tahoma Literary Review. She was one of the founding associate prose editors of the literary journal Camera Obscura: Journal of Literature and Photography and currently serves on the board of Mystery Writers of America, Midwest Chapter.
