Jeffery Deaver

CBS nabs the Justin Hartley drama ‘The Never Game’ for 2023-24 season. The series is based on a best-selling novel by Jeffery Deaver. Hartley stars as Colter Shaw, a lone-wolf survivalist who roams the country as a “reward seeker,” using his expert tracking skills to help private citizens and law enforcement solve all manner of mysteries, while also contending with his own fractured family. The cast also includes Robin Weigert, Abby McEnany, Eric Graise, Fiona Rene and Mary McDonnell.

A sociopath cuts a path of destruction across the rural Midwest. In pursuit: a vigilante detective and a prosecutor, one bent on revenge, the other on virtue. And in the wrong place at the wrong time: a doctor in a life-and-death moral struggle. Barreling toward justice, their fates converge in these four interlocking short stories of cunning misdirection that can be read or listened to in a single breathless experience. Available on Kindle and Audible.
