Publisher's Synopsis
Harlan Coben returns with an explosive novel about the love of a father, in a story where nothing is what it seems - and where hope and fear collide in the most surprising ways. Marc Seidman awakens in a hospital bed to find that his wife has been killed, and his six-month-old daughter, Tara, has vanished. The new reality is taking hold when a ransom note is delivered: "We are watching. If you contact the authorities, you will never see your daughter again. There will be no second chance." Clinging to hope that he can still save his daughter, Marc is mired in a deepening quicksand of deception and deadly secrets - about his wife, about an old love he's never forgotten, and about his own past. Both a white-knuckle thriller and an emotionally powerful tale about the loyalty of old friends and the bond between parent and child, NO SECOND CHANCE is another masterpiece from Coben.
