The Survivors: The new book from the Ngaio Marsh Award winning author of the bestselling MISSING PERSONS and THE SCENE OF THE CRIME
True stories of death and desperation
One survivor chooses loneliness.
One chooses exile.
One chooses oblivion.
Some have violent tendencies, ruining lives indiscriminately.
Some seal their own fate in slow motion; others do so in the blink of an eye.
In The Survivors, award-winning true-crime writer Steve Braunias retells twelve mysteries of human nature - unusual stories of how people choose to survive their own lives, and their decisions, desires, impulses... and failings.
Steve Braunias is the author of 13 books, including Civilisation (winner of the 2013 NZ Post award for best book of non-fiction) and Missing Persons, which won the non-fiction prize at the 2023 Ngaio Marsh crime-writing awards. He is a staff writer at The New Zealand Herald, and serves as the literary editor at Newsroom.
