About this eBook

For Dr. David Beck, the loss was shattering. And every day for the past eight years, he has relived the horror of what happened. The gleaming lake. The pale moonlight. The piercing screams. The night his wife was taken. The last night he saw her alive.

Everyone tells him it's time to move on, to forget the past once and for all. But for David Beck, there can be no closure. A message has appeared on his computer, a phrase only he and his dead wife know. Suddenly Beck is taunted with the impossible—that somewhere, somehow, Elizabeth is alive.

Beck has been warned to tell no one. And he doesn't. Instead, he runs from the people he trusts the most, plunging headlong into a search for the shadowy figure whose messages hold out a desperate hope.

But already Beck is being hunted down. He's headed straight into the heart of a dark and deadly secret—and someone intends to stop him before he gets there.

Ratings and reviews

Was definitely a well written book that kept you engaged the entire time. The read was fairly easy. One thing that may be a little difficult for some readers is how it jumps around from character to character. This made it difficult at times because you would forget names and plots, especially if you hadn’t picked the book up for a little while. But overall, I really enjoyed this book. It served its purpose to keep me off my phone more during this Covid-19 quarantine. But I recommend and look forward to watch the movie.

I have nothing to say about it. it was "outstanding, fabulous, mysterious, yet thriller enough" to made me shocked. I cannot believe how a person can write and tell a story like this without living the same thing. Harlan did great job and I would like to thanks him about his talent. this was my second book of him after "Caught", which was my main trigger of reading Mystery/Thriller books. he wrote in such a way that you cannot find any gap in the story. well-organized, well-written and great wrapping up at the end. it was so good that I might not recommend reading it to anyone!, because if you read the Harlan's book, you cannot read another authors' books, because you might have huge expectation about every novel, which is impossible. while reading, I could imagine myself watching a movie or enjoying my time at theater listening to a Beethoven-like-symphony, this time written by "Harlan Coben". I wish he had more books, so I could read his books whenever I want.

Two days..put it down to eat and pee...really great book. Only downfall was that I almost expected the ending on this one for the first time since reading his books. But that's only because the one I read two days before this one had the dead wife actually alive too....so it kinda felt repetitive. But still a really great read!
