For Dr. David Beck, the loss was shattering. And every day for the past eight years, he has relived the horror of what happened. The gleaming lake. The pale moonlight. The piercing screams. The night his wife was taken. The last night he saw her alive. Everyone tells him it’s time to move on, to forget the past once and for all. But for David Beck, there can be no closure. A message has … message has appeared on his computer, a phrase only he and his dead wife know. Suddenly Beck is taunted with the impossible—that somewhere, somehow, Elizabeth is alive.
Beck has been warned to tell no one. And he doesn’t. Instead, he runs from the people he trusts the most, plunging headlong into a search for the shadowy figure whose messages hold out a desperate hope.
But already Beck is being hunted down. He’s headed straight into the heart of a dark and deadly secret—and someone intends to stop him before he gets there.

A solid story with a good protagonist. It strain credulity at moments, but the writing allowed for a suspension of disbelief.
I won’t write a blurb based on this one book in particular because I think Harlan Coben is a great writer and I enjoy all of his books. I would recommend somebody looking for something or someone new to read to go ahead and download a sample of any of his books to see what you think. His writing style is unique, with a lot of dry wit and humor, …
I know it is not helpful to recommend a book just by saying “best book ever!”, so I will try to be more specific. The author has created an intriguing plot in which the main character, who had lost his wife, finds mysterious clues indicating she may be alive, and he seeks to find out what happened to her. This is not one of those books where you …
One of the the true classics among modern thrillers. I remember seeing the stunning cover on the new release table in a bookstore. You could only see the title against a red background. So different. I picked it up and read the first chapter. You cannot stop reading after that!
This brilliantly-written thriller was the book that got me started on Harlan Coben. One of his best!
Several years ago, I read TELL NO ONE by Harlan Coben. I’ve never forgotten it, the story stayed with me, and this novel made me a forever fan. I could not put this book down. It’s a riveting, heart-pounding read and will make you question whether you’d try to find a kidnapped/accosted/thought-dead loved one on your own or involve the …
Amazing mystery thriller with fast paced action. A page Turner with lots of twists which keeps you guessing till the end. A very entertaining read. You can’t go wrong with a Harlan Coben book.
Pretty good read, but the plot was a little unbelievable.
My absolute favorite book by Harlan Coben. This book will make you lose more sleep then you want it too. Could not put it down. Fantastic Book!
My first Coben book. Won’t be my last.
This book was so good I made two of my friends read it so we could discuss it.
Loved it!!!! Harlan Coben for the win….again!!!

One of the best reads ever
He is one of my favorite authors but this book was not one of his best.
One of the best books I’ve read! Follow this one up with Gone for Good!!
This is one of my all time favorite books. I recommend this to everyone !
I was bowled over with this writer. He never fails to entertain.
An intriguing page turner from the beginning. A book I never wanted to put down. A sit on the edge of your seat biting your fingernails type of book. I highly recommend. Harlan Coben is such a clever writer. This is my favorite book by him so far. Gone for good is also one I recommend.
Loved it!
