Now eleven years have passed. And Will, who always believed in his brother’s innocence, has found evidence that Ken is alive--even as he is struck by another act of betrayal.

This book is awesome. This is the first Coben book I've read and I'm hooked. The sense of morbid description and excellent detail and grammar make it a very captivating read. This book boggled my mind. The answers are hidden in plain sight. I can't wait to read more Coben books.
OMG this is one convoluted story but fantastic none-the-less! This is just no way to figure out what is going on just too many twisty turns with shock after shock. A truly spectacular mystery with unbelievable suspense. I love Will and Sheila - what terrific characters. Even the bad-ass FBI dude and the assassin are great characters. WOW what an amazing book! I think Harlan Coben might be my new favorite suspense author. Can't wait to get another one and be amazed, surprised and delighted!
If you like your mysteries un-figure-out-able, then this one is for you. Shocking twists all the way until the last page.
This is an exciting novel, as you have an idea of what is taking lace, then you read more and find out you know nothing at all. I read it slowly and savor each clue not wanting it to end. Great book
