Przed laty, jeszcze w szkole średniej, detektyw Napoleon Nap Dumas stracił
brata. Leo i jego dziewczyna Diana zostali znalezieni martwi na torach
kolejowych. W tym samym czasie zniknęła bez śladu również Maura, którą Nap
uważał za miłość swojego życia. Kiedy po latach od zaginięcia Maury śledczy
znajdują jej odciski palców w samochodzie należącym do podejrzanego o
morderstwo, Nap rozpoczyna gorączkowe śledztwo. Zamiast odpowiedzi natrafia
jednak na kolejne niewiadome. Okazuje się, że nie wiedział nic ani o kobiecie,
którą kochał, ani o przyjaciołach z dzieciństwa, ani o opuszczonej bazie
wojskowej, w pobliżu której dorastał, a przede wszystkim nie wiedział nic o
Leo i Dianie, których śmierć jest o wiele bardziej mroczna i przerażająca, niż
kiedykolwiek mógłby sobie wyobrazić. Fałszywe tożsamości, mroczne rodzinne
sekrety i tajemnicze spiski czyli wszystko to, za co czytelnicy kochają
mistrza thrillerów Harlana Cobena!
Podejrzany wypadek, zmowa milczenia i tajemnicze zaginięcie tworzą tło dla mistrzowskiego thrillera Harlana Cobena, skierowanego do nastoletnich czytelników. Mickey Bolitar, bratanek detektywa Myrona, zmaga się z traumą po śmierci ojca i pobycie matki na odwyku. Zmiana szkoły i życie z nielubianym wujem nie ułatwiają mu sytuacji. Mickey, podobnie jak jego wuj, ma talent do rozwiązywania zagadek, zwłaszcza tych związanych z dziewczynami, które znikają, jak Ashley – skromna nastolatka, która nie jest tym, za kogo się podaje. Jego śledztwo prowadzi do odkrycia szokującego spisku, który zmusza go do kwestionowania wszystkiego, co dotychczas uważał za pewne, w tym prawdy o swojej rodzinie. Czy śmierć ojca mogła być tylko iluzją? To pierwsza książka w serii z Mickeyem Bolitarem, a prawa do ekranizacji tej i kolejnych części trylogii należą do MGM. Serial powstaje na zlecenie Amazon Prime Video, z udziałem samego autora i jego córki. Coben z pewnością przyciągnie nowe pokolenie fanów dzięki błyskotliwym dialogom i zaskakującym zwrotom akcji.

Najnowszy thriller Harlana Cobena, niekwestionowanego króla gatunku.
'Zaginiona' to długo wyczekiwana, dziewiąta książka o Myronie Bolitarze,
agencie sportowym i detektywie, ulubionym bohaterze pisarza. Mron Bolitar nie
miał kontaktu z dawną kochanką, Therese Collins, od ponad siedmiu lat.
Niespodziewanie kobieta dzwoni do niego z prośbą o pomoc. Mąż Therese, Rick, o
którym Myron nie miał zielonego pojęcia, miał spotkać się z żoną w Paryżu.
Chciał przekazać jej jakąś ważną informację, ale przepadł bez wieści. Po
chwili wahania Bolitar decyduje się lecieć do Europy. We Francji czeka na
niego przykra niespodzianka. Już na lotnisku obydwoje zostają zatrzymani przez
policję. Rick, pracujący jako reporter śledczy, został zamordowany, a Therese
stała się główną podejrzaną... Jedna rzecz podważa tę hipotezę. Na miejscu
zbrodni znaleziono ślady krwi, a badanie DNA ujawniło, że należy ona do
nieżyjącej od lat córki Collinsów. Gdy tylko Myron zagłębia się w śledztwo,
okazuje się, że ktoś bardzo nie chce, by prawda wyszła na jaw. Jakie tajemnice
kryją się w przeszłości Ricka?
Czy podobał Ci się polski miniserial kryminalny W głębi lasu? A może jeszcze
nie miałeś okazji go zobaczyć, ale o nim słyszałeś. Jeśli tak, to zachęcamy
Cię do zapoznania się z książką, na podstawie której powstał scenariusz
serialowej produkcji. Pozycję o tym samym tytule napisał Harlan Coben. Co
stało się w głębi lasu? Młodzi i zakochani wybierają się do lasu na obóz
młodzieżowy. Czy ta romantyczna historia musiała zakończyć się tragicznie?
Harlan Coben wprowadzi Cię w historię, która jest wielowymiarowa. Młodzi stają
się świadkami bestialskiego morderstwa dokonanego na czworgu nastolatków. Ale
czy na pewno na czworgu? Już na tym etapie możesz mieć uzasadnione wątpliwości
co do klarowności całej historii. Jedną z ofiar, której nie udało się
odnaleźć, jest Camille. Jej bratem jest z kolei prokurator Paul Copeland,
który pomimo upływu lat nigdy nie pogodził się z tragedią. Łatwo to zrozumieć,
zwłaszcza że sam był jednym ze świadków morderstwa. Sprawa po latach Po 20
latach wydaje się, że nikt nigdy nie dowie się, co się stało w głębi lasu.
Jednak kiedy Paul Copeland rozpoznaje w zastrzelonym mężczyźnie jedną z ofiar,
nie może przestać myśleć o tym, czy jego siostra przeżyła. Harlan Coben jest
mistrzem budowania napięcia. Skrajne emocje i uczucie gęsiej skórki nie
opuszczą Cię do ostatniej strony powieści W głębi lasu.
Ustabilizowane życie Grace Lawson rozpada się w jednej chwili, gdy na świeżo
wywołanym zdjęciu rodzinnym rozpoznaje swojego męża. Fotografia wygląda na
zrobioną przed laty. Przedstawia także inne osoby twarz jednej z nich jest
przekreślona. Jack zaprzecza, by miał coś wspólnego ze zdjęciem. Krótko potem
wychodzi z domu i znika, zabierając tajemniczą odbitkę. Grace rozpoczyna
poszukiwania męża, który, jak się okazuje, został porwany. Ktoś grozi jej
dzieciom. Grace nie wie, komu może zaufać - wydaje się, że wszyscy jej znajomi
i przyjaciele mają coś do ukrycia. Próbuje dotrzeć do prawdy. Trop prowadzi do
tragicznych wydarzeń sprzed wielu lat, gdy cudem uszła z życiem ze
strzelaniny, jaka wybuchła na koncercie rockowym.
Rodzice Adama Baye, zaniepokojeni tym, że po samobójstwie kolegi z klasy ich
szesnastoletni syn zamknął się w sobie, instalują na jego komputerze program
szpiegowski. Śledzą każdy ruch chłopaka, każdy wysłany i odebrany e-mail. Ze
zgrozą odkrywają wiadomość przesłaną przez anonimowego nadawcę, który każe mu
siedzieć cicho. Czy Adam wie coś na temat samobójstwa? I co ma wspólnego z
brutalnym zabójstwem na przedmieściach Nowego Jorku, nad którego zagadką
pracuje detektyw Loren Muse? Dlaczego rodziną Baye interesuje się FBI?
Dziesięć lat temu porywacze uprowadzili dwóch sześciolatków, Patricka Moorea
oraz Rhysa Baldwina, żądając od ich bogatych rodziców okupu. Potem nagle
zamilkli, a po porwanych chłopcach ślad zaginął. Przez cały ten czas obie
rodziny musiały radzić sobie z bolesnymi wspomnieniami, próbując uporać się z
rozpaczą po utracie ukochanych dzieci. I pewnie byłoby tak dalej, gdyby nie
dwaj ludzie: Myron Bolitar, agent sportowy, i jego przyjaciel, Win Lockwood,
którego elegancki strój skrywa umiejętnie wyszkolonego zabójcę. Mężczyźni
wierzą, że właśnie zlokalizowali jednego z porwanych chłopców, dziś już
nastolatków. Chłopak rzekomo był widziany w Londynie. Czy to rzeczywiście on?
Gdzie się podziewał przez dziesięć lat? Jak wiele pamięta z dnia, kiedy został
porwany? I co najważniejsze: czy jest w stanie naprowadzić Myrona i Wina na
trop swego zaginionego przyjaciela, jeśli ten w ogóle jeszcze żyje? Historia
opowiedziana przez Cobena to pełen napięcia, głęboko poruszający thriller o
przyjaźni, rodzinie i o tym, czym jest prawdziwy dom.
