His website is: Harlan Coben

"Frankly I like his Bolitar's stories... tackle pressing issues on family and relationships; work ethics, friendship and love... Byron's character portrays the essence of being human - ambitious and learning from his mistakes. His care and affection to his parents is not to be ignored" Reymos

"No Second Chance has a terrific opening featuring a first-person narrator... I gobbled up the plot, finishing fat and foolish..." Will Cohu, Daily Telegraph

"Harlan Coben has made his intentions clear: he wants to fool his readers. And he makes a good job of doing so in The Innocent... The enjoyably intricate plot takes several turns before we are fooled for the last time and the villains and motive are revealed. A book to read in the one gulp.." Daily Telegraph
