About this listen

 Harlan Coben was voted winner of the Bestseller Dagger, at the 2009 Crime Writers' Association's Crime Thriller awards .

Myron never saw it coming. A surprise visit from an ex-girlfriend is unsettling enough. But Emily Downing's news brings him to his knees. Her son Jeremy is dying and needs a bone-marrow transplant, from a donor who vanished without a trace. Then comes the real shock: the boy is Myron's son, conceived the night before her wedding to another man.

Stunned by the news, Myron plunges into a desperate search for the missing donor. But finding him means unravelling a dark mystery that involves a broken family, a brutal kidnapping spree, and the FBI. Somewhere in the sordid mess is the donor who disappeared. And as doubts emerge about Jeremy's true paternity, a child vanishes, igniting a chain reaction of heartbreaking truth and chilling revelation.

Loved it. Listened in one go. Narration was fab. The plot was gripping. Harlan Coben never fails to deliver. My favourite author

Another great book from Harlan Coben

Good story with plenty of twists and turns. It was great to dip into an early Bolitar novel.

Nicely written and read.

I’m addicted to HC audiobooks but this performance not as good as others. Women’s voices not as good and cannot pronounce ‘confidential’!

Could do better
