Description
Now a major motion picture starring Joaquin Phoenix, You Were Never Really Here is a gritty, harrowing story of corruption and one man's violent quest for vengeance.
Joe has witnessed things that cannot be erased. A former FBI agent and Marine, his abusive childhood has left him damaged beyond repair. He has completely withdrawn from the world and earns his living rescuing girls who have been kidnapped into the sex trade.
When he's hired to save the daughter of a corrupt New York senator held captive at a Manhattan brothel, he stumbles into a dangerous web of conspiracy, and he pays the price. As Joe's small web of associates are picked off one by one, he realizes that he has no choice but to take the fight to the men who want him dead.
Brutal and redemptive in equal measure, You Were Never Really Here is a toxic shot of a thriller, laced with corruption, revenge and the darkest of inner demons.
Reviews
You were never really here
1By Rage10,0000000Loved the book except the last 30 pages were not in the download.You Were Never Really Here
4By ReadingbytheseaInteresting fast read. The ending was an abrupt “wack” with the hammer! What’s that about.....What does Joe do now!Lean and mean
5By DankieFoschLean and brutal, this story trims the fat and only leaves exactly what you need. I’v read reviews that wanted more, but that would be doing the character of Joe and the story a disservice; in the world of Taken and wrestler action stars, You Were Never Really Here is more Charles Bronson than the Rock.You were never here
1By CYM fanWhat a rip off! This is only the beginning of the story. I won't be seeing the movie.You were Never Really Here
4By peodleoGreat thriller but ends abruptly wondering where does this story go! Disappointed
