In Six Years, a masterpiece of modern suspense,
Harlan Coben explores the depth and passion of lost love…and
the secrets and lies at its heart.
Six years have passed since Jake Sanders watched Natalie,
the love of his life, marry another man. Six years of hiding
a broken heart by throwing himself into his career as a
college professor. Six years of keeping his promise to leave
Natalie alone, and six years of tortured dreams of her life
with her new husband, Todd.
But six years haven’t come close to extinguishing his
feelings, and when Jake comes across Todd’s obituary, he
can’t keep himself away from the funeral. There he gets the
glimpse of Todd’s wife he’s hoping for…but she is not
Natalie. Whoever the mourning widow is, she’s been married
to Todd for almost two decades, and with that fact
everything Jake thought he knew about the best time of his
life—a time he has never gotten over—is turned completely
inside out.
As Jake searches for the truth, his picture-perfect memories
of Natalie begin to unravel. Mutual friends of the couple
either can’t be found, or don’t remember Jake. No one has
seen Natalie in years. Jake’s search for the woman who broke
his heart, who lied to him, soon puts his very life at risk
as it dawns on him that the man he has become may be based
on a carefully constructed fiction.
Harlan Coben once again delivers a shocking page-turner that
deftly explores the power of past love, and the secrets and
lies that such love can hide.
