Three heart-pounding page-turners by the bestselling author and creator of the hit Netflix drama The Stranger.

THE INNOCENT

One night, Matt Hunter innocently tried to break up a fight—and ended up a killer. Now, nine years later, he’s an ex-con who takes nothing for granted. His wife, Olivia, is pregnant, and the two of them are closing on their dream house. But all it will take is one shocking, inexplicable call from Olivia’s cell phone to shatter Matt’s life a second time...

THE WOODS

Paul Copeland, a New Jersey county prosecutor, is still grieving the loss of his sister twenty years ago—the night she walked into the woods, never to be seen again. But now, a homicide victim is found with evidence linking him to the disappearance. The victim could be the boy who vanished along with Paul's sister. And, as hope rises that his sister could still be alive, dangerous secrets from his family's past threaten to tear apart everything Paul has been trying to hold together...

HOLD TIGHT

“We’re losing him.” With those words, Mike and Tia Baye decide to spy on their sixteen-year-old son Adam, who has become increasingly moody and withdrawn since the suicide of his best friend. The software they install on his computer shows them every Web site visited, every e-mail sent or received, every instant message. And each keystroke draws them deeper and deeper into a maze of mayhem and violence that could destroy them all...
Praise for The Innocent

“A twist-filled triumph.”—Life 

“Intriguing right up to the final chapter.”—Associated Press

Praise for The Woods

“[The Woods] might just be the best thing Coben has written...A gripping story, filled with fine characters and dark secrets.”—Chicago Sun Times

“A lively, fast-moving entertainment, jam packed with the bizarre plot twists that are his stock in trade.”—The Washington Post 

“A fast-paced, complex plot...Coben’s talent for creating involving and compelling stories shines.”—South Florida Sun-Sentinel

Praise for Hold Tight

“The writing is taut and slick. The intricate plot, told from the vantage points of a half-dozen characters, is a page-turner.”—Associated Press

“A thriller for the Google era.”—The New York Times
 
“In Hold Tight, Coben surpasses even his own best work.”—South Florida Sun-Sentinel
