DON’T LET GO
BY HARLAN COBEN

Fifteen years ago in New Jersey, a teenage boy and girl were found dead.
Most people concluded it was a tragic suicide pact. The dead boy’s brother, Nap Dumas, did not. Now Nap is a cop – but he’s a cop who plays by his own rules, and who has never made peace with his past.
Harlan Coben never fails to disappoint, and with the multilayered Don’t Let Go, he’s crafted a tense page-turner to electrify your nerve endings.
Nap’s character is thoroughly fleshed out, and his first person narration draws you in from the outset. The town is full of intriguing personalities, who each have their story to tell, as the plot thickens.
With each new chapter, the feeling of unease grows, as is the author’s tantalising trademark. When you feel yourself glancing into a dark corner whilst reading in the evening, or an involuntary shiver breaks out for no apparent reason, you know the writing is THAT good.
