David Burroughs is in jail for murdering his infant son. But he claims his innocence. He hasn't wanted visitors and noone has come to see him, well that is until now, when he receives a surprise visit from his ex-wife's sister, Rachel.
Rachel has a photo and in the background is an image of a small child - a child that looks too much like the son he's meant to have killed. He even has the same birthmark.

Wilde (The Boy from the Woods) returns for Harlan Coben's latest novel.
While Wilde has previously not shown an interest in learning about his birth parents, he does so in this latest edition. Wilde has submitted his details to a DNA website and comes upon a match, but when he tries to follow up the match (months later) he finds that the account has been deleted.

This is the story of Win. Most of Harlan Coben's books focus on ex-basketballer Myron, with Win (Windsor Lockwood The Third) in the background as the rich confidante.
There is a lot we know about Win from Coben's previous books and going through the book you are reminded of previous connections: his father, his cousin Patricia, the Abeona Shelter and his daughter Ema. These all have a role to play in this book.

Naomi Pine is missing. It's the second time in as many weeks. She is an unpopular high school student and the subject of needless bullying by the 'cool kids'.
Matthew is Hester Crimstein's nephew and when she first disappears he goes to Wilde, the so-called 'boy from the woods', but he is no longer a boy, but the sometimes partner of Matthew's mother.
Hester, the infamous Attorney from a number of Coben's previous books has a large role to play in this novel, even going so far as to delve into her private life.
