Život detektíva Napoleona Dumasa, zvaného Nap, z predmestia v New Jersey sa navždy zmenil v poslednom ročníku strednej školy. Jeho brata, dvojča Lea, a priateľku Dianu vtedy našli mŕtvych na železničnej trati a Maura, ktorú pokladal za svoju životnú lásku, bez akéhokoľvek vysvetlenia zmizla. Celých pätnásť rokov Nap pátral po Maure a nepodarilo sa mu ani vysvetliť Leovu smrť. Teraz sa zdá, že by napokon predsa len mohol dosiahnuť, po čom tak veľmi túži. V aute podozrivého z vraždy sa nájdu Maurine odtlačky a Nap sa vydáva na tŕnistú cestu za odpoveďami. Tie však vedú len k ďalším otázkam – o milovanej žene, o priateľoch z detstva, o ktorých si myslel, že ich pozná, o opustenej vojenskej základni v meste, kde vyrastal, a najmä o Leovi a Diane, ktorých smrť je možno ešte oveľa temnejšia a desivejšia ako v najhorších predstavách.

'ANOTHER INSTANT COBEN BOLITAR CLASSIC' Michael J Fox For ten long years two boys have been missing. Now you think you've seen one of them. He's a young man. And he's in trouble. Do you approach him? Ask him to come home with you? And how can you be sure it's really him? You thought your search for the truth was over. It's only just begun.

Muž v povedomých modrých džínsoch a košeli farby lesnej zelene – vždy ju opisoval takto, nie ako tmavozelenú či jasnú zelenú, ale ako lesnú zeleň – jej zjavne nijako neublížil, neuniesol ju ani nič také, takže úzkosť, ktorú pri pohľade naňho pociťovala, jej pripadala čudesne nafúknutá a zbytočná. Chlap na zázname sa posunul trocha nabok. Maya už zase videla Lily. Myslela si, že teraz sa jej strach utíši, no nestalo sa. Muž sa obrátil a sadol si na gauč k malej. Pozrel sa do kamery a na tvári sa mu objavil úsmev. Mayi sa akosi podarilo nezvriesknuť. Zaťať, uvoľniť, zaťať, uvoľniť... Maya, ktorá si vedela v boji vždy udržať chladnú hlavu, vždy dokázala nájsť vnútornú silu, vďaka ktorej sa jej zbytočne nezrýchlil tep a neparalyzoval ju príval adrenalínu, sa o to pokúšala aj teraz. Tie známe šaty, modré džínsy a najmä košeľa vo farbe lesnej zelene ju mali pripraviť na možnosť – aj keď pod tým slovom skôr myslela nemožnosť – toho, čo teraz videla. Preto teraz nezvrieskla. Nelapala dych. Miesto toho sa v hrudi rozlial pocit, že sa akosi nedokáže nadýchnuť. V žilách jej tuhla krv. Pery sa jej chveli. Na obrazovke počítača Lily spokojne vyliezla do lona jej mŕtveho manžela.

A solid lie can build a successful life, but when the truth comes to light, everything can be lost. The Stranger appears out of nowhere—in a bar, parking lot, or store. His identity is unknown, and his motives unclear, but the messages he brings change everything. At a lacrosse parents' meeting, lawyer Adam Price is approached by the Stranger, who claims that Adam's wife has deceived him by faking a pregnancy. The man provides evidence to support his claim. After confronting his wife, she disappears, only contacting him via text, asking him not to search for her. Adam and his sons are devastated. The Stranger reveals more secrets, and soon after the murder of Heidi Dunn, a friend of one of the victims, Detective Johanna Griffin begins an investigation. She uncovers a group led by the Stranger and reaches out to Adam. The lawyer and the detective join forces to find Adam's missing wife. As they uncover more about her life, Adam realizes that nearly everyone around him harbors secrets, and the only way to discover the truth is to find the Stranger, even if it shatters his orderly world.

„Vyhýbaj sa ľuďom, čo patria minulosti. Nedovoľ im vracať sa do tvojho života.“ Na začiatku je to len bežná profilová stránka ako veľa iných na webovom zoznamovacom serveri. Ale keď sa Kat Donovanová, vyšetrovateľka newyorského policajného zboru, lepšie zahľadí na sprievodnú fotografiu, akoby jej doterajší svet odrazu vybuchol a znova na ňu ťaživo doľahnú city, ktoré dlhé roky potláčala. Z fotografie na ňu hľadí jej niekdajší snúbenec Jeff, muž, ktorý jej zlomil srdce a ktorého nevidela už osemnásť rokov. V Kat sa rozhorí iskierka nádeje, či práve toto nie je okamih, keď sa pominú dávne tragédie a otvorí sa pred ňou nová budúcnosť. No len čo sa pokúsi nadviazať kontakt s mužom z profilu, oživená nádej sa rýchlo zmení na temné podozrenie a potom hrôzu. Postupne vychádzajú na povrch obludné zločinecké plány a ich korisťou sa stávajú tí najzraniteľnejší. Počet obetí narastá a Katina vyhliadka na opätovné zblíženie s Jeffom sa čoraz väčšmi vzďaľuje. Úplne ju pohlcuje vyšetrovanie vyvolávajúce otázky týkajúce sa všetkých milovaných ľudí – bývalého snúbenca, matky, ba aj otca, ktorého surová vražda sa za dlhé roky nikdy celkom neobjasnila. Kat riskuje životy vrátane vlastného, ponára sa do ešte väčšej temnoty a hľadá v sebe silu, aby sa so svojimi zisteniami vyrovnala.

Totdat hij zijn ex-zwager Vernon tegenkomt, van wie hij een klein, wit pilletje krijgt. Net ontwikkeld door een groot farmaceutisch bedrijf, vertelt Vernon, maar nog niet officieel geregistreerd.
