The latest top-notch page-turner from Harlan Coben is a compelling psychological thriller exploring the power and passion of lost love. Told exclusively from the viewpoint of Jake Fisher who goes to watch the love of his life marry someone else and just after the ceremony promises to never try to find or follow her again. Now six years later he sees the obituary of the husband and sees it as a sign to get back in touch. Little does he realize the hornet’s nest he has disturbed.
Six Years is the latest ‘stand alone’ thriller from one the masters of the genre. His fans will love it and for any readers new to Harlan Coben (where have you been?) it is a great introduction to his twisty-turny, addictive thrillers.
Harlan Coben has recently finished a UK tour for his new book, Six Years. Scroll down to view an exclusive video of him reading from this book.
Six years have passed since Jake Fisher watched Natalie, the love of his life, marry another man. Six years of hiding a broken heart by throwing himself into his career as a college professor.
Six years of keeping his promise to leave Natalie alone, and six years of tortured dreams of her life with her new husband, Todd. But six years haven't come close to extinguishing his feelings, and when Jake comes across Todd's obituary, he can't keep himself away from the funeral. There he gets the glimpse of Todd's wife he's hoping for...but she is not Natalie. Whoever the mourning widow is, she's been married to Todd for more than a decade, and with that fact everything Jake thought he knew about the best time of his life - a time he has never gotten over - is turned completely inside out. As Jake searches for the truth, his picture-perfect memories of Natalie begin to unravel. Mutual friends of the couple either can't be found or don't remember Jake. No one has seen Natalie in years. Jake's search for the woman who broke his heart - and who lied to him - soon puts his very life at risk as it dawns on him that the man he has become may be based on carefully constructed fiction.
'Coben is one of the best thriller writers in the business, and he delivers another amazing novel that will resonate with readers long after the final page is turned. The narrative is immersive, and the well-drawn characters and twisting plotting are stellar. With such a cool hook and a surprising and satisfying payoff, don't wait six years to read what might be Coben's best since Tell No One.' LIBRARY JOURNAL
'Every bit as suspenseful as his ticktock thrillers ... Coben's artful depiction of his protagonist makes for riveting reading' BOOKLIST
