Praise for The Finder“Ferguson’s trademark wit abounds in this exuberant, entertaining and unconventional novel.”
— SHARI LAPENA, New York Times bestselling author of Someone We Know“Witty, exuberant. . . . Part thriller and part travelogue, this highly original novel offers punchy storytelling and vividly portrayed locales. Ferguson is bound to win new fans with this one.”
— Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)“Cinematic in its twists and turns. The narrative globe-trots across three continents, threading together stories of far-flung characters linked by a shadowy figure. . . . Ferguson’s wit courses through the book.”
— Literary Review of Canada“So much fun. Filled with memorable characters and exotic locations, Will Ferguson's new book should be enjoyed by thriller fans, travel aficionados, and those that like a story where you have no idea where it's going to take you. It's an interesting and rewarding universe that Ferguson's mind occupies. I want a cottage there.”
— DREW HAYDEN TAYLOR, author of Motorcycles & Sweetgrass“This plucky and seductive adventure novel from the Giller Prize winner is set in a world where iconic objects like Buddy Holly’s glasses and Muhammad Ali’s Olympic medal go missing. A strange magic pulls the book forward, and Ferguson’s prose has a quick-yet-gentle lilt. It makes for a perfect escape.”
— Chatelaine“The latest from the Scotiabank Giller Prize–winner is a pacey, globe-trotting tale of duplicity and misdirection.”
— Zoomer“Ferguson demonstrates the keen attention to place crucial to the travel writer’s trade: local lore and mores are explained in considerable depth, milieus are vividly depicted with an eye for the smallest of details. . . . While promising a thriller, Ferguson has instead delivered a powerful, if subdued, novel of thwarted dreams, loss and lingering pain, soul-deep conflicts, and the strong, often faltering drive for connection and redemption. The Finder is, finally, the best sort of con: one that pays off and leaves the victim—the reader—grateful for having been taken for a ride.”
