Harlan Coben's Blog

Hey, gorgeous (yes, I mean you) --

Let’s get “write” to the big news. THE MATCH arrives March 15thin the USA/Can (March 17 in UK, Aus, NZ, etc) and oh man, WAIT until you read the ending on this one! I would be thrilled if you would PREORDER THE MATCH from a bookseller you love today. Let’s get ready to hit the ground running and discuss it in less than two weeks!

Here is something the Netflix viewers might enjoy. Richard Armitage, the star of both THE STRANGER and STAY CLOSE on Netflix, voiced this fun little video teaser for THE MATCH. You can watch it here.

THE MATCH is drawing raves including the rare star review from Library Journal. “[THE MATCH] addresses reality shows, DNA searches, cyberbullying, and social media influencers in a suspenseful novel guaranteed to be a hit.”

With unmatched suspense and emotional insight, Harlan Coben explores the big secrets and little lies that can destroy a relationship, a family, and even a town in this powerful new thriller.

Suburban New Jersey Detective Napoleon “Nap” Dumas hasn’t been the same since senior year of high school, when his twin brother Leo and Leo’s girlfriend Diana were found dead on the railroad tracks—and Maura, the girl Nap considered the love of his life, broke up with him and disappeared without explanation. For fifteen years, Nap has been searching, both for Maura and for the real reason behind his brother’s death. And now, it looks as though he may finally find what he’s been looking for.

When Maura’s fingerprints turn up in the rental car of a suspected murderer, Nap embarks on a quest for answers that only leads to more questions—about the woman he loved, about the childhood friends he thought he knew, about the abandoned military base near where he grew up, and mostly about Leo and Diana—whose deaths are darker and far more sinister than Nap ever dared imagine.

Here's the link: https://www.netflix.com/title/80202129

Twenty years after 5-year-old Jesse disappears near his home, his DNA turns up at the scene of a woman's murder, baffling his family and the police.

Harlan Coben’s The Five, was created as his first original story for television.

This roller-coaster thriller follows a group of friends who are haunted by the disappearance of one of their younger brothers twenty years earlier, while he was in their care. The group is forced to revisit the past when the missing boy’s DNA turns up at the scene of a murder. Could he really still be alive? If so, why has he come back? And how is he linked to this murder? Only one thing is certain: the lives of these four friends are about to be turned upside down as they desperately search for the truth. And redemption.

The Five will be available to stream on Netflix in USA and Canada from the 15th September.
