David Burroughs hasn't had a visitor in the five years he has been incarcerated. His crime? He was convicted of killing his three-year-old son, Matthew, and was serving a life sentence. Unexpectedly, his ex-sister-in-law appeared with a photo that showed what was seemingly impossible: a recent photo of Matthew, David's son. Even though the child was now eight-years-old, David was positive he was looking at his son. How could he possibly find him?
Harlan Coben's novel, I WILL FIND YOU, is a multi-layered and well-plotted story. There is a lot of action and readers will not be bored. David is a likeable character. Narrated mostly in his voice, his tone is conversational, and considering the untenable situation he finds himself in, he makes a lot of sense. As for the secondary characters, they are a varied group. No stereotypes here.
I found the premise of I WILL FIND YOU to be intriguing and the story moved quickly. Harlan Coben is a master storyteller. Highly recommended.
Five years ago, an innocent man began a life sentence for murdering his own son. Today he found out his son is still alive.
David Burroughs was once a devoted father to his three-year-old son Matthew, living a dream life just a short drive away from the working-class suburb where he and his wife, Cheryl, first fell in love--until one fateful night when David woke suddenly to discover Matthew had been murdered while David was asleep just down the hall.
Half a decade later, David’s been wrongly accused and convicted of the murder, left to serve out his time in a maximum-security prison—a fate which, grieving and wracked with guilt, David didn’t have the will to fight. The world has moved on without him. Then Cheryl’s younger sister, Rachel, makes a surprise appearance during visiting hours bearing a strange photograph. It’s a vacation shot of a bustling amusement park a friend shared with her, and in the background, just barely in frame, is a boy bearing an eerie resemblance to David’s son. Even though it can’t be, David just knows: Matthew is still alive.
David plans a harrowing escape, determined to achieve the impossible – save his son, clear his own name, and discover the real story of what happened. But with his life on the line and the FBI following his every move, can David evade capture long enough to reveal the shocking truth?
