Check out the 4 Star Review in People Magazine. Global bestseller Harlan Coben returns with a stunning new standalone novel – a powerful psychological thriller that explores how our decisions define us and how our present selves are inescapably shaped by our pasts. And as each confronts the dark side of the American dream – the boredom of suburban life, the thrill of temptation, the desperation that can lurk behind even the prettiest facades – they will discover the hard truth that the line between one kind of life and another can be as whisper thin as a heartbeat.

When the past refuses to stay buried, three people will discover that the American dream can be a nightmare.
