Brought to you by Penguin.

From the global No. 1 bestselling author and creator of the hit Netflix drama Stay Close and Fool Me Once comes the unputdownable new crime thriller.

A year after the devastating events that took place in Fool Me Once, a secret from former Detective Sami Kierce's college days comes back to haunt him. Present day is hard enough for Kierce, but his past isn’t through with him yet…

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 begins to scream - and then he runs.

Twenty two years later, Kierce, now a private investigator, is a new father who’s working off his debts by 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. But as soon as he 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. Soon he discovers that some secrets should stay buried

Critic reviews

A tense, suspenseful and action-packed thriller . . . it’ll have you staying up late into the night to find out what happens next

Harlan Coben never disappoints

The maestro of twists and turns

Harlan Coben never ever lets you down

I love Harlan Coben. I've read all his books

Crime thriller extraordinaire

Harlan never disappoints!

The story is, like his other books, gripping, from the start to the end. The plot is clever and the ending unexpected. I loved every minute. My only criticism of the audiobook is that the reader gives Buzz a German accent earlier in the book, which is quite different ro a Dutch accent. 😀 But I am already on to my next book!

Gets you in from the first page…….

Another brilliant book by Harlan Coben. He is the master of a complex who dunnit, I stayed up way too late listening as I had to know how it ended. Lots of twist and turns and all the ends are tied I. Well.
