Synopsis

From USA TODAY bestselling author and ITW Thriller Award finalist LS Hawker, whose novels have been translated into eight languages, comes a gripping standalone thriller set in the shadow of the 1980s, where four forgotten men discover that the lives they have been sleepwalking through are suddenly worth dying for.

George Engle has lived his whole life like he is already invisible. Since his twin brothers died in a freak accident when he was thirteen, he has drifted, through dead-end jobs, through relationships, through years of watching everyone else step into the spotlight while he stays in the dark. Then, on the night he finally gets his first real break—an acceptance letter to law school—everything changes.

He wakes up behind the wheel of his car with no memory of the past several hours, blood on his hands, and a gas can and a bloody knife on the back seat. The house in front of him is on fire. Three people are dead inside. And someone has gone to great lengths to make sure George takes the fall.

Running from the law and hunted by the killers, George turns to the only people he has left: his three childhood friends from Niobe, Kansas. Curt, the sensitive artist. Bill, the physics professor drowning in debt and addiction. Travis, the security guard who has always wanted to be a cop. They have not been close in years. But what is coming for George is coming for
all of them, and surviving it means trusting people they are not sure they know anymore.

Set against the atmospheric backdrop of small-town Kansas in 1986, The Throwaways is a twisty, emotionally rich thriller about male friendship, buried loyalty, and what happens when the people the world has written off finally decide to fight back.

Fans of The Drowning Game will recognize Curt and George here, decades younger, at the moment that defined who they would become.
