Harlan Coben earned the raves of critics everywhere for his New York Times bestselling thriller, Tell No One, hailed as “pulse-pounding” (People), “compelling and original” (Los Angeles Times), and “a thriller of runaway tension” (Iris Johansen). Now, in a bold new novel, Coben continues to stake out new ground in suspense, unleashing a haunting tale of secrets and betrayal...and of one man’s search for his missing brother that spirals into a breakneck hunt for a killer, a victim, and the truth.

As a boy, Will Klein had a hero: his older brother, Ken. Then, on a warm suburban night in the Kleins’ affluent New Jersey neighborhood, a young woman--a girl Will had once loved--was found raped and murdered in her family’s basement.

The prime suspect: Ken Klein. With the evidence against him overwhelming, Ken simply vanished, spending the next decade as the elusive subject of rumors, speculation, and an international manhunt. When his shattered family never heard from Ken again, they were sure he was gone for good.

Now eleven years have passed. And Will, who always believed in his brother’s innocence, has found evidence that Ken is alive--even as he is struck by another act of betrayal. His girlfriend suddenly disappears, leaving behind compelling evidence that she was not the person Will thought she was. As two dark dramas unwind around him, Will is pulled into a violent mystery, haunted by signs that Ken is trying to contact him after all these years. Will can feel himself coming closer and closer to his brother . . . and to a terrible secret that someone will kill to keep buried. And as the lies begin to unravel, Will is uncovering startling truths about his lover, his brother, and even himself. He knows he must press his search all the way to the end. Because the most powerful revelations are yet to come....

Gone for Good is at once a powerhouse of suspense and a haunting tale of love--the love between brothers, between lovers, between family members. It is one of those rare thrillers that not only make the pulse pound, but stir the heart as well.

"True to form, Coben keeps the plot twists coming fast and furious, and readers will give up trying to guess the outcome quite early on; yet the book's entertainment value lies less in its plot than its characters....[T]his title delivers." Publishers Weekly

"Coben delivers far more than an absorbing mystery here. Through Klein, the psychological suspense turns on the question of guilt, surely, but also on the transcendence of familial love and forgiveness. Watching Klein decide among dangerous alternatives, as the clockwork plot keeps picking up speed, is breathtaking." Connie Fletcher, Booklist

"Coben dispenses crucial plot twists with an eyedropper, expertly wringing the maximum suspense out of each jaw-dropping surprise. After a while, though, the high-energy revelations begin to sprawl, and this synthetic, highly enjoyable tale ends up stuck between grim realism and the sort of wish-fulfillment fantasy in which nobody, not even the dead, is ever gone for good." Kirkus Reviews

"Coben has written another winner, guaranteed to keep readers awake all night....Complex and unpredictable, this is even better than Coben's last novel, Tell No One. Highly recommended." Library Journal

"Coben stands on the accelerator and never lets up....[T]he action is seamless, clear, and riveting." Sean Gannon, People

"Books that open with a bang sometimes fizzle by the middle, but Gone for Good ratchets up the suspense....If seat-gripping suspense was all the book delivered, it would be worth the price of a hardback, but Gone for Good is made better by well-developed characters who are as thoughtful and as flawed as real people." Katy Kelly, USA Today

"To pass the time, Coben fills the pages with sympathetic stories of teen hookers, wisecracks about growing up in New Jersey and plenty of pop music references. Some may call this approach pointed social commentary, others, padding, but either way, Coben has a winning, intelligent style to go with the maze-like plot." Bob Hoover, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

"Gone for Good's devious plot unfolds as an origami web would to reveal a tiny but deadly spider at its center. Coben's reputation has done nothing but expand since Deal Breaker, his award-winning 1994 debut, and his latest ups the ante by a factor of 10....Gone for Good is the best bet for whip-smart suspense." Mike Shea, The Austin Chronicle
