Whether you know him as “The King of Plot Twists” or “The King of Thrillers,” Sager’s 10th novel is definitely one we’ve all been keeping an eye on. It’s publishing slightly later than we’re used to — as June tends to be his month — but The Unknown is more than worth the wait.
‘The Unknown’ Goes Back to Riley Sager’s Roots
Originally set in 1926, The Unknown takes us to a mystery that involves five women disappearing from a remote Vermont island. Getting us to the present day, the same thing starts to happen again. Yes, 100 years later, and now a group head back to the same island, and soon they finds themselves trapped with something sinister that is about to threaten them all.
We’ve seen final girls, locked-room mysteries, and haunted houses. Now it’s time to head into the world of ghost stories and remote islands. Of course, there’s a cultural element to it, as main character, Marin Keane, is a struggling actress who lands what could have once been a dream role in a major motion picture. Maybe the stay on the island is going to make her rethink those dreams!
The Unknown already has a 4.06-star average on Goodreads. With more than 150,000 people adding the novel to their “Want to Read” accounts, it sits comfortably in the No. 1 spot as the most popular August 2026 book. And the month is only just getting started!
