We Are Here is the latest novel from award-winning writer Michael Marshall, the Sunday Times’ No. 1 bestselling author of The Straw Men. David is an author on the brink of publication. His life is looking up, despite the fact that he is unsure if he has another book in him. Then he bumps into a stranger in New York and his entire perception of the world shifts monumentally. Catherine is an affluent woman with a strong marriage and two children, who has recently been unable to shake the growing suspicion that she is being followed. David and Catherine are total strangers, yet they have one thing in common: they are both being followed by someone from their past. Someone who has been forgotten… but who will never forget.
