From his acclaimed, long-running series starring basketballer-turned-sports agent and sleuth Myron Bolitar, to his seat-laminating stand-alone thrillers and his YA mysteries starring Myron’s high schooler nephew Mickey, New Jersey author Harlan Coben has been masterfully entertaining readers around the globe for more than three decades.
His latest novel (36 books and counting), I Will Find You, contains all the Harlan Coben hallmarks that long-time fans have come to expect, and new readers will love: propulsive action, characters facing extreme stakes, dramatic family dynamics, and plenty of twists. David Burroughs is living a nightmare. He’s withering away in prison, having been convicted for killing his son, Matthew. Even those who love David believe he’s guilty, that he’d done a horrible, terrible thing while blacked out. David has given up; even if he was ever proven innocent and released, what does it matter when his beloved son is dead? Until his former sister-in-law visits with a puzzling photo. Could Matthew still be alive?
Coben takes readers on a breakneck ride full of action and high jeopardy, deftly laced with characters who make us care. It’s no surprise that Netflix has signed up his books for a long-running deal (six have already been made into six different Netflix dramas, with more on the way). A perfect stay-up-all-night read that could be another screen hit.
