Harlan Coben

If you're into thrillers or murder mysteries, or if you've been watching the New York Times bestseller lists, Harlan Coben needs no introduction. But, for the uninitiated, here is the Master in a nutshell: snappy dialogue, brilliant pacing, believable characters, twisty plot. Start with one of his stand-alone thrillers, my favourites being, in that order: Just One Look, Gone For Good, Tell No One.
