Mark Novak's greatest mystery may be his own ..."I was asleep when my wife died," Private Investigator Mark Novak tells us. His relentlessness as an investigator has been his professional calling card and curse, but he couldn't bear to ever investigate what happened to his wife two years before--until now.When he returns to the country road outside Cassadega, Florida, where his wife was shot, he uncovers disturbing leads that show how her murder might be connected to Novak's own troubled youth in Montana.Back in the mining towns of Montana he thought he'd left behind forever, he'll face an adversary more frightening than he's ever known, and a secret that has wended its way through his entire life: from the caverns beneath Indiana to the abandoned streets of a southern Gothic town to the darkest corners of the Northwest.Rise the Dark is a mystery about evil and heroism, and what happens when the two are inextricably and tragically linked.

One of the Best Books of 2016: Michael Connelly, New York Times Book Review, Kirkus Reviews
"A superb thriller literally humming and buzzing with power and tension, given depth and resonance by Koryta's fascination with pitting lone human emotion against a vast and forbidding landscape."―Lee Child
"This book arrived with high praise from several stars of the genre--"A master," says Stephen King; "Outstanding," adds Lee Child--and they're right. Rise the Dark is both first-rate entertainment and an unusually interesting thriller in terms of its characters, its plot and the ideas it explores, which include the electrical grid, Tesla's history, spiritualism, and the nation's possible vulnerability to a right-wing takeover."―Washington Post
"Among his many gifts, Michael Koryta is a virtuoso in his use of outdoor settings... his thrillers present the great outdoors in their most frightening aspects. The book's atmospheric power and strong cast of supporting characters make Rise the Dark compelling from the get-go."―Chicago Tribune
"Welcome to Michael Koryta's latest nightmare.... Wonderfully eerie scenes... [and] distinct thrills."―Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review
"Koryta always uses setting to great effect in his bestselling thrillers... In Rise The Dark, Koryta again constructs a hold-your-breath thriller around believable characters and the bonds, familial and romantic and ideological, that bind them. It's a wild ride."―Tampa Bay Times
"Koryta has a gift for terrific suspense that immerses the reader while also delivering prose that almost reads like poetry....[A] road that should definitely be traveled."―Associated Press
"For fans of darker mystery and suspense, you won't be disappointed."―Marion Star
"A frightening thriller about the holes in our infrastructure and the security protecting it. In this second Markus Novak novel, following 2015's Last Words, Koryta effectively combines a compelling premise, a villain who seems too smart to be stopped, and a revealing look at the hero's dysfunctional family."―Booklist
"As with his spellbinding 2014 effort, Those Who Wish Me Dead, Koryta employs the desolate Montana setting with such mastery and deep sense of mystery that it's a compelling character itself. And with an intriguing cody that reverberates with themes of family, myth, and psychic possibility, this new novel leaves us keenly anticipating the next installment of the Novak saga. Again proving himself one of today's top thriller writers, Koryta creates edgy suspense not with trickery but with characters who test the limits of their courage."―Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
