FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE MATCH AND CREATOR OF HIT NETFLIX DRAMA FOOL ME ONCE
____________________________
Thirty years ago, a child was found in the New Jersey backwoods.

He had been living a feral existence, with no memory of how he got there or even who he is. Everyone just calls him Wilde.

Now a former soldier and security expert, he lives off the grid, shunned by the community - until they need him.

A child has gone missing. With her family suspecting she's just playing a disappearing game, nobody seems concerned except for criminal attorney Hester Crimstein. She contacts Wilde, asking him to use his unique skills to find the girl.

But even he can find no trace of her. One day passes, then a second, then a third.

On the fourth, a human finger shows up in the mail.

And now Wilde knows this is no game. It's a race against time to save the girl's life - and expose the town's dark trove of secrets...

Also featuring the character of Wilde: The Match - OUT NOW

Reviews
Harlan Coben is the absolute master of huge twists and turns. * RICHARD OSMAN *
Coben never, ever lets you down * LEE CHILD *
If you liked The Stranger on Netflix, you'll love this novel [...] The novel is a splendid reminder that Coben is as brilliant at creating wonderful characters as he is at those textbook twists. * HEAT MAGAZINE *
Thriller-lovers who just want some adrenaline to lift their spirits should escape with this riveting page-turner from the hugely popular author and screenwriter, Harlan Coben, who not only has more than 70 million books in print worldwide, but also recently brought us the hit TV series The Stranger and Safe on Netflix. * MAIL ONLINE *
Harlan Coben's thrillers are like intricately patterned knitting [...] He has created a cracker of a hero in the aptly named Wilde [...] Hopefully Wilde will return - Coben certainly leaves clues that he will. * THE TIMES *
One of the world's leading thriller writers [...] That is down to the dark and endlessly twisting turns that his plots take - and his latest book is no exception. Another gripping and twisty thriller. * SUN *
Dramatic and tightly plotted - the search for the truth is a masterpiece * WOMAN'S OWN *
Exceptional story-telling, well drawn and vivid characterisation and a fast-paced and riveting plotline carry the reader along open mouthed as layer upon layer is peeled back to reveal the truth. I needed this diversion from grim reality and now feel much better for it. Highly recommended. * LIVE AND DEADLY (blog) *
You'll struggle to put it down. Coben has a knack for drawing you in and holding your interest, and this book certainly does that * ENTERTAINMENT FOCUS *
Harlan Coben delivers yet another knock-out story in this fast-paced novel. Meticulously plotted and elegantly narrated, with complex characters and unexpectedly tender twists, it's much more than just a standard thriller * WI Magazine *
