Harlan Coben is back with another one of his superb stand-alone thrillers exploring the darker side of the American dream. Three unrelated people brought together by circumstance find the secrets of their past lives threaten their current suburban existence - but when faced with stark choices maybe they don’t want to forget the past. A trademark combination of page-turning thrills and unrivaled insight.
The bestselling author and creator of the hit Netflix dramas Fool Me Once and The Stranger proves that the past never truly fades away in this shocking thriller.
Megan is a suburban soccer mom who once upon a time walked on the wild side. Ray used to be a talented documentary photographer but now finds himself in a dead-end job posing as a paparazzo. Broome is a detective who can't let go of a cold case. Each is hiding secrets that even those closest to them would never suspect.
When the terrible consequences of long-ago events threaten to ruin their quiet suburban lives, they will come to the startling realization that they may not want to forget the past at all. As Megan, Ray, and Broome are faced with the excitement of temptation and the desperation and hunger that can lurk behind even the prettiest facades-they will discover a hard truth: the line between one kind of life and another can be as whisper-thin as a heartbeat.
