Synopsis

From The New York Times bestselling author of Come Home comes a riveting thriller about one man's search for his wife's killer

Lisa Scottoline's Don't Go introduces us to Dr. Mike Scanlon, an army doctor called to serve in Afghanistan, who is acutely aware of the dangers he'll face and the hardships it will bring his wife Chloe and newborn baby. And deep inside, he doesn't think of himself as a hero, but a healer.

However, in an ironic turn of events, as Mike operates on a wounded soldier in a war-torn country, Chloe dies at home in the suburbs, in an apparently freak household accident. Devastated, he returns home to bury her, only to discover that the life he left behind has fallen apart. He's a stranger to his baby girl, and his medical practice has downsized in his absence. Worse, he learns a shocking secret that sends him into a downward spiral.

Grief-stricken, Mike makes decisions upon returning to Afghanistan which will change his life forever. It's not until he comes home for good that he grasps the gravity of his actions, and realizes he must fight the most important battle of his life, to reclaim his life and his daughter. Along the way, he discovers that everything is not as it seems, and he learns ugly truths about those he loves the most, as well as the true meaning of heroism.

Goodreads review by Jeannie on May 26, 2013

Loved this book. Ordered it for two reasons-1) have read other Scottoline books- so I knew it would be good, 2) author offered via Facebook to send a paperback of my choice if I preordered Don't Go, so that's a win-win 'in my book'. Super fast read, and since I do most of my 'for fun' reading in bed-......more

Goodreads review by Christine on May 29, 2015

Wow! What a thriller! I had no idea what to expect but this book got off to a chilling start and the suspense continued to build from there in Don't Go, Lisa Scottoline's latest.

He comes home after reinli......more

Goodreads review by Buggy on June 02, 2014

This was pretty good, but I wanted to like it a whole lot more than I actually did. The story premise had me excited and the cover is great but the execution was just all over the place, with too many story ideas all thrown together so that ultimately none of them really work. I’ve also yet to figur......more
