At the elite Catenan Academy, a young fugitive navigates complex mysteries and world-altering secrets in this gripping tale by the bestselling author of The Licanius Trilogy. The Catenan Republic, known as the Hierarchy, may hold power, but they remain unaware of the truth. I present myself as Vis Telimus, claiming to be an orphan accepted into their prestigious institution through sheer luck. I feign eagerness to conform, to let my strength and drive—referred to as Will—be siphoned off to benefit those above me, just as countless others do. They accept my facade. However, my true purpose at the Academy is far more dangerous: I seek answers to a murder, the location of an ancient weapon, and secrets that could destabilize the Republic. I refuse to surrender my Will to the empire that executed my family. To survive, I must ascend the Academy's social ladder, forge friendships, and maintain my disguise. If I fail, those who know my real identity will discard me, and the Hierarchy will not hesitate to eliminate me. My journey is fraught with peril, as I strive to uncover the truth while keeping my past hidden.

In this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller from Harlan Coben, a dead man's secrets fall into the hands of a vigilante antihero--drawing him down a dangerous road. Over twenty years ago, the heiress Patricia Lockwood was abducted during a robbery of her family's estate, then locked inside an isolated cabin for months. Patricia escaped, but so did her captors -- and the items stolen from her family were never recovered. Until now. On the Upper West Side, a recluse is found murdered in his penthouse apartment, alongside two objects of note: a stolen Vermeer painting and a leather suitcase bearing the initials WHL3. For the first time in years, the authorities have a lead -- not only on Patricia's kidnapping, but also on another FBI cold case -- with the suitcase and painting both pointing them toward one man. Windsor Horne Lockwood III -- or Win, as his few friends call him -- doesn't know how his suitcase and his family's stolen painting ended up with a dead man. But his interest is piqued, especially when the FBI tells him that the man who kidnapped his cousin was also behind an act of domestic terrorism -- and that the conspirators may still be at large. The two cases have baffled the FBI for decades, but Win has three things the FBI doesn't: a personal connection to the case; an ungodly fortune; and his own unique brand of justice.

Chief of Police Kate Burkholder is called upon by the sheriff's department in rural, upstate New York to assist on a developing situation that involves a reclusive Amish settlement and the death of a young girl. Unable to penetrate the wall of silence between the Amish and "English" communities, the sheriff asks Kate to travel to New York, pose as an Amish woman, and infiltrate the community. Kate's longtime love interest, State Agent John Tomasetti, is dead set against her taking on such an unorthodox assignment, knowing she'll have limited communication--and even less in the way of backup. But Kate can't turn her back, especially when the rumor mill boils with disturbing accounts of children in danger. She travels to New York, where she's briefed and assumes her new identity as a lone widow seeking a new life. Kate infiltrates the community and goes deep undercover. In the coming days, she unearths a world built on secrets, a series of shocking crimes, and herself, alone ... trapped in a fight for her life.

When an Amish man convicted of murdering his wife eight years earlier escapes from prison and kidnaps his five children, Kate Burkholder rushes to the scene only to be ambushed by the man, who implores her to prove his innocence.

Instead of offering support, he resorts to sabotage, complicating their already strained relationship. Tessa understands that Hardin loves her and wants to protect her, but the line between love and the ability to coexist becomes increasingly blurred. The cycle of jealousy, anger, and forgiveness takes its toll, leaving Tessa exhausted. Despite the exhilarating connection they share, she questions whether the intensity of their relationship is worth the accompanying drama. Love once seemed sufficient to keep them together, but as Tessa grapples with her feelings, she wonders if following her heart might lead to their ultimate downfall.
