About Me

NEW TRAILER FOR
HOLD TIGHT!!
Murder in Suburbia
..
Bestselling author, I guess. And yes, it is me and not my lackey. My lackey is out polishing my new Benz which is ironic because I don't drive a Benz. Oh, and I don't have a lackey.
HarlanCoben.com tells all. I came up with that web address myself. No, no, stop the applause.

HOLD TIGHT
is out!

“COMPULSIVE PAGE-TURNER…

“How do you weigh a child's privacy against a parent's right to know?
“How do you differentiate normal teenage rebelliousness from out-of-control behavior?
“When and how do you intervene if suicidal signs appear?...
"Coben plucks each of these strings like a virtuoso as Mike and Tia Baye try to deal with the increasing withdrawal of their 16-year-old son, Adam, after a friend's suicide. A pair of brutal, seemingly senseless killings, punctuate the unfolding domestic troubles that ratchet up the tension and engulf the Baye family, their friends and neighbors in a web of increasing tragedy.
“The "this could be me" factor lends poignancy to the thrills and chills.”
-- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (STARRED REVIEW)

My Interests

Naked flamenco dancing, women with excessive back hair, I'm kidding. I have no interests. I'm a writer. That means that when you're having fun with an "interest" part of your brain is scolding you for not writing. Ergo you have no interests.

----------------------------------
Our heroes in Kabul Afghanistan. One of the reasons I love to write.
