THE FOLLOWING
A Novel
Forthcoming from ECW Press
COMING APRIL 2027
On an ordinary winter afternoon, impossibly glamorous political wife Laura Barnett gathers her passport and cash, lights her kitchen on fire, and vanishes. Laura’s escape ignites a media frenzy — soon she is hotly pursued by a group of superfans tracking her on social media. They call themselves the Following. Meanwhile, relying on charm, bribes, and friends who might also be enemies, Laura drifts from Spain, through Morocco, Mauritania, Senegal, Mali, and Sierra Leone as she attempts to slip from the public’s gaze. This is a luminous literary thriller, a daring road trip and a scathing look at our culture of fame and celebrity, and the lengths we will go to be free.
