Description

In this stunningly twisty thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Harlan Coben, a secret from former Detective Sami Kierce's college days comes back to haunt him.

Sami Kierce, a young college grad backpacking in Spain with friends, wakes up one morning, covered in blood. There’s a knife in his hand. Beside him, the body of his girlfriend. Anna. Dead. He doesn’t know what happened. His screams drown out his thoughts—and then he runs.

Twenty-two years later, Kierce, now a private investigator, is a new father who’s working off his debts by doing low level surveillance jobs and teaching wannabe sleuths at a night school in New York City. One evening, he recognizes a familiar face at the back of the classroom. Anna. It’s unmistakably her. As soon as Kierce makes eye contact with her, she bolts.

For Kierce there is no choice. He knows he must find this woman and solve the impossible mystery that has haunted his every waking moment since that terrible day.

His investigation will bring him face-to-face with his past—and prove, after all this time, he’s nobody’s fool.

    I’m thinking the book was about too long by half. The first half was not interesting enough to read the second.
  • Interesting plot, good writing

    5 Stars. I like Kierce. I hope we get more of him. Coben was Coben. He’s definitely a great one. This mystery was wonderfully layered while not overly complex. It was right there the whole time but just out of reach. That’s Coben though. Through and through. He even gave some of the bad guy’s heart while ensuring others were pure evil. I hope this makes its way to Netflix, too. I just wish they were all set where they were written. The Kierce here is better than the UK Kierce.
  • Overly contrived plot

    …and its only well into the book that it becomes evident it is a sequel to another. I will not be reading the other!
  • Many unexpected twist and turns!
