David awakes to find himself covered in blood, but not his own - his son's. And while he knows he did not murder his son, the overwhelming evidence against him puts him behind bars indefinitely. Five years into his imprisonment, Cheryl's sister arrives - and drops a bombshell. She's come with a photograph that a friend took on vacation at a theme park. The boy in the background seems familiar - and even though David realizes it can't be, he knows it is. It's Matthew, and he's still alive. David plans a harrowing escape from prison, determined to do what seems impossible - save his son, clear his own name, and discover the real story of what happened that devastating night.

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.
Exploring the intricate connections to our past, this thrilling narrative delves into the emotional complexities of relationships shaped by deception. The story unfolds with suspense, revealing how lies can intertwine lives and influence choices.

A solid lie can build a successful life, but when the truth comes to light, everything can be lost. The Stranger appears out of nowhere—in a bar, parking lot, or store.

At a lacrosse parents' meeting, lawyer Adam Price is approached by the Stranger, who claims that Adam's wife has deceived him by faking a pregnancy. The man provides evidence to support his claim. After confronting his wife, she disappears, only contacting him via text, asking him not to search for her. Adam and his sons are devastated. The Stranger reveals more secrets, and soon after the murder of Heidi Dunn, a friend of one of the victims, Detective Johanna Griffin begins an investigation. She uncovers a group led by the Stranger and reaches out to Adam. The lawyer and the detective join forces to find Adam's missing wife. As they uncover more about her life, Adam realizes that nearly everyone around him harbors secrets, and the only way to discover the truth is to find the Stranger, even if it shatters his orderly world.

Haley McWaid es la hija adolescente de la que cualquier padre se sentiría orgulloso: una chica responsable, una estudiante aplicada y buena deportista. Por eso, cuando una mañana su madre descubre con sorpresa que no ha dormido en casa, la primera reacción es de extrañeza y la segunda de pánico. El paso del tiempo provoca que la familia se tema lo peor. Casos como el de Haley llaman la atención de la periodista Wendy Tynes, que trabaja en un programa de televisión centrado en localizar por internet a pedófilos, engañarlos y atraparlos con las manos en la masa.
