Harlan Coben has proved once again you don't need high tech gadgets, spectacular car chases or exotic locales to create a page-turning thriller. In The Stranger (#512), Adam Price's secure life in suburbia complete with a house, a wife and two boys is sent spinning into oblivion when a stranger sidles up to him at a lacrosse parents' meeting. He tells Adam that his wife Corinne has kept a secret from him. And if Adam doesn't believe him, the stranger tells him where to look to begin unraveling the lie. Adam can't believe what he's told, but still... By the time Adam discovers the truth, his life will be changed forever.
Coben is such a skillful storyteller that the plot will keep you glued to the page to find out what happens next long beyond your bedtime. Clear a good block of time to read this one because you won't want to put it down!
