I liked it. I liked it a lot!¿ STEPHEN KING 'Harlan¿s a great thriller writer [...] one of my favourites.¿ JOHN GRISHAM Thirty years ago, a child was found in the New Jersey backwoods. He had been living a feral existence, with no memory of how he got there or even who he is. Everyone just calls him Wilde. Now a former soldier and security expert, he lives off the grid, shunned by the community ¿ until they need him. A child has gone missing. With her family suspecting she¿s just playing a disappearing game, nobody seems concerned except for criminal attorney Hester Crimstein. She contacts Wilde, asking him to use his unique skills to find the girl. But even he can find no trace of her. One day passes, then a second, then a third. On the fourth, a human finger shows up in the mail. And now Wilde knows this is no game. It¿s a race against time to save the girl¿s life ¿ and expose the town¿s dark trove of secrets¿ ' Thriller-lovers who just want some adrenaline to lift their spirits should escape with this riveting page-turner from the hugely popular author and screenwriter, Harlan Coben' MAIL ONLINE 'One of the world¿s finest thriller writers is at the very top of his game' PETER JAMES 'Coben never, ever lets you down' LEE CHILD 'Harlan Coben¿s thrillers are like intricately patterned knitting [¿] He has created a cracker of a hero in the aptly named Wilde [¿] Hopefully Wilde will return ¿ Coben certainly leaves clues that he will.'
