David and Cheryl Burroughs are living the dream - married, a beautiful house in the suburbs, a three year old son named Matthew - when tragedy strikes one night in the worst possible way. 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.

Cannie Shapiro ha 28 anni. E' carina, è spiritosa, ha tanti amici. Scrive, con humor e stile, per il quotidiano della sua città, il "Filadelfia Examiner". E' grassa. O, se preferite, "rotonda", "appetitosa", "sensuale". La cosa non la turba più di tanto, almeno fino al giorno in cui il quasi-ex-fidanzato, Bruce, giornalista per una popolare rivista di moda, non dedica alle sue rotondità un pezzo dal titolo imbarazzante: "Brava a letto. Amare una donna abbondante". Cannie è sconvolta. Tanto più che, nell'articolo, Bruce rivela di considerare definitivamente chiusa la loro relazione, ufficialmente solo congelata nella più classica (e ipocrita) delle pause di riflessione. Lo shock proietta Cannie in una dimensione nuova, fatta di dolore e insicurezza, ma anche di ironia, di incontri improbabili, di colpi di scena, delle scommesse e delle vittorie che le regaleranno l'anno più travolgente e incredibile della sua vita.
