Harlan Coben follows four consecutive #1 New York Times
bestsellers with a stand-alone thriller in the vein of his
beloved breakout novels Caught and Hold Tight. Megan is a
suburban soccer mom who once upon a time walked on the wild
side. Now she's got two kids, a perfect husband, a picket
fence, and a growing sense of dissatisfaction. Ray used to
be a talented documentary photographer, but at age forty he
finds himself in a dead- end job posing as a paparazzo
pandering to celebrity-obsessed rich kids. Jack is a
detective who can't let go of a cold case-a local husband
and father disappeared seventeen years ago, and Jack spends
the anniversary every year visiting a house frozen in time,
the missing man's family still waiting, his slippers left by
the recliner as if he might show up any moment to step into
them. Three people living lives they never wanted, hiding
secrets that even those closest to them would never suspect,
will find that the past doesn't recede. Even as the terrible
consequences of long-ago events crash together in the
present and threaten to ruin lives, they will come to the
startling realization that they may not want to forget the
past at all. And as each confronts the dark side of the
American Dream- the boredom of a nice suburban life, the
excitement of temptation, the desperation and hunger that
can lurk behind even the prettiest facades- they will
discover the hard truth that the line between one kind of
life and another can be as whisper-thin as a heartbeat. With
his trademark combination of page-turning thrills and
unrivaled insight into the dark shadows that creep into even
the happiest communities, Harlan Coben delivers a thriller
that cements his status as the master of domestic suspense.
