Book Description:
Some mistakes can change your life forever….
The horror of one night is forever etched in Matt Hunter’s memory: the night he innocently tried to break up a fight—and ended up a killer. Now, nine years after his release from prison, his innocence long forgotten, he’s an ex-con who takes nothing for granted. With his wife, Olivia, pregnant and the two of them closing on a house in his home town, things are looking up. Until the day Matt gets a shocking, inexplicable video call from Olivia’s phone. And in an instant, the unraveling begins.
The horror of one night is forever etched in Matt Hunter’s memory: the night he innocently tried to break up a fight—and ended up a killer. Now, nine years after his release from prison, his innocence long forgotten, he’s an ex-con who takes nothing for granted. With his wife, Olivia, pregnant and the two of them closing on a house in his home town, things are looking up. Until the day Matt gets a shocking, inexplicable video call from Olivia’s phone. And in an instant, the unraveling begins.
A mysterious man who begins tailing Matt turns up dead. A beloved nun is murdered. And local and federal authorities--including homicide investigator, Loren Muse, a childhood schoolmate of Matt’s with a troubled past of her own-- see all signs pointing to a former criminal with one murder already under his belt: Matt Hunter. Unwilling to lose everything for a second time, Matt and Olivia are forced outside the law in a desperate attempt to save their future together.
An electrifying thrill-ride of a novel that peeks behind the white picket fences of suburbia, THE INNOCENT is at once a twisting, turning, emotionally-charged story, and a compelling tale of the choices we make and the repercussions that never leave us.
Includes the exclusive short story
Rise and Fall of SuperD
Featuring Myron Bolitar

I have really enjoyed his books so far...he has an engaging writing style and his characters are very believable. This story has lots of twists that kept me guessing til nearly the end of the book! One of the main characters made a mistake in his college years that landed him in jail and it changed his life completely. He has spent his life trying to separate himself from that and the story revolves around what happens when his and his wife's pasts both come back to haunt them. GREAT READ!

I liked this one a lot. I just discovered Coben and he is one of the premier suspense authors out there. I will find everything he has and read the hell out of them.

Harlen Coben's books are terrific! Full of interesting characters and lots of subplots that always come together at the end. He's one of my favorite writers.

I really liked this book. It was a good whodunit with interesting characters and plenty of twists and turns to keep me guessing until the end. I couldn't put it down! This was my first Harlan Coben read, but it definitely won't be my last.

Totally Coben. This is a very intense drama -- I couldn't wait to get to the next page; I hated to see the book end. Wonderful story -- wonderful characters. Harlan Coben just keeps getting better and better -- he latches on to you in the first few pages, and never lets go. Highly recommended!

"Harlan Coben is the modern master of the hook-and-twist - luring you in on the first page, only to shock you on the last."
Dan Brown, author of The Da Vinci Code
