Publisher Description
A perfect family is shattered when their daughter goes missing in this nail-biting thriller from a New York Times bestselling author.
The inspiration for the limited series on Netflix!
"[A] greased-lightning domestic thriller." ―Kirkus Reviews
You've lost your daughter. She's addicted to drugs and has an abusive boyfriend. And she's made it clear that she doesn't want to be found.
Then, by chance, you see her playing guitar in Central Park. But she's not the girl you remember. This woman is living on the edge, frightened, and clearly in trouble.
You don't stop to think. You approach her, beg her to come home.
She runs. And you do the only thing a parent can do: you follow her into a dark and dangerous world you never knew existed.
Before you know it, both your family and your life are on the line. And in order to protect your daughter from the evils of that world, you must face them head on.
"The modern master of the hook and twist." ―Dan Brown, #1 bestselling author of The Da Vinci Code
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
No amount of wealth and privilege can protect a family from bad decisions, destructive dynamics, and suffering. Wall Street analyst Simon Greene and his pediatrician wife, Ingrid, seem to have a picture-perfect life, so how has their daughter, Paige, wound up in utterly desperate circumstances? Harlan Coben takes us to New York’s most upscale and seediest corners to explore how things can go horribly wrong. Run Away cements Coben’s reputation as a master of the character-driven psychological thriller.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this bombshell-laden thriller from bestseller Coben (Don't Let Go), Wall Street financial adviser Simon Greene and his pediatrician wife have a perfect life by all outward appearances except that they haven't seen their drug-addicted daughter, Paige, in six months. When by chance Simon spots Paige panhandling in Central Park, he approaches her, but Aaron Corval, her junkie boyfriend, who he believes is holding her against her will, confronts him, and the two get into a fight. Paige flees the scene. When Aaron later turns up dead in an abandoned house in the Bronx, Simon and his daughter become suspects in his murder. Vowing to find Paige at any cost, Simon soon finds his search intertwined with a Chicago PI's case to locate a missing person. Though the sheer amount of jaw-dropping plot twists is impressive, some do come across as a bit contrived. Still, the breakneck pacing and audaciously intricate story line will have readers on the edge of their seats. Seven-city author tour.)
