Publisher Description
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.

"I like Harlan Coben. His writing is dynamic. I found the whole book very suspenseful up until the ending. The ending was a little disappointing- like it was time to wrap it up and here come the "deus ex machinas" Still I can't fault Coben. I really like his style"

— Katrina, 2/15/2014 -
" This is a good story, but a bit too long. The author took his time getting to the nuts and bolts of the story and then added a twist upon a twist. Just a little frustrating is some parts. "
— Bree, 2/6/2014 -
" Loved this book! It's a classic suspense thriller and there were twists and turns right up the last sentence. I was continually on the edge of my seat trying to guess what was coming up next. This was my first book by Coben and I've already bought another! "

" This was a well written book and it keeps you involved. The book that I borrowed had been edited and I think that it was a good thing that it was. Without the editing I don't know if I would recommend reading it. Still, the "edited" version was a good book. "
— Becky, 11/14/2012 -
" Another great book by Harlan Coben "
— Jillian, 10/11/2012 -
" Not the genre I usually read but it was highly recommended by a friend so I picked it up, and yes, I am very happy I did. It is exciting all the way through. The chapters are short and the story never drags on. Great quick read. "
— Chris, 4/20/2012 -
" Typical Coben-- quick read with a gazillion plot twists. For some reason all of the cliches that were prefaced by "not to be cliche, but..." drove me crazy, but an entertaining airplane read. "
— Janine, 3/2/2012 -
" Twists and turns right through to the end...... "
— Denise, 1/23/2012 -
" I like the way he writes, he keeps you page turning. "
— Marilyn, 10/10/2011 -
" my first read of harlan coben. to be honest - it should be a literary thriller, given th depth of the characters. instead it becomes a genre thriller - which is fine - as long as on eknows what to expect. 4 stars because of the plot twists and turns. "
— Mick, 8/26/2011 -
" I liked all the unexpected twists and turns in this mystery. His other well-known book Tell No One was a FANTASTIC French movie you have to see! "
— Sberkin, 5/20/2011 -
" Make sure your safety harness is fastened tight, dear reader because you are in for a wild ride! Full of double crosses and double double crosses this one will have you on the edge of your seat until the last page. "
— Nancy, 5/13/2011 -
" This book gets 5 well-deserved stars! ..very intriguing, suspenseful and well done... I was engrossed from the very begining. This was such a quick & easy read. Harlan Coben is seriously going to become my new beach buddy. "
— Amanda, 5/12/2011 -
" An addicted read, I stayed up way past my bedtime a couple times to keep going. I wish there was a continuation to these characters.... "
— Sarah, 5/4/2011 -

— Lisa, 4/27/2011 -
" Amazing...loved it!!! So many twists and turns you will think you know what is about to happen and be totally thrown for a loop, You won't have it even figured out till the very last page of the book. "
— Gina, 4/17/2011 -

— Matt, 4/5/2011 -
" I accidentally picked up this Coben book thinking it was in the Myron Bolitar series. I realized on page one it wasn't part of the series, but thank goodness I kept reading. The twists and turns kept happening till the last page. Loved it! "
— Kathleen, 4/3/2011 -
" This book is one of the best books I have ever read. Hands down. "
— Trevor, 4/2/2011 -
" I could not put this book down. It kept me involved from page one. Coben's books always have several stories going on at once,but they always come together in the end!!! "
— Faye, 3/28/2011 -
" Awesome suspense novel! Keeps you guessing (and surprised) throughout the whole book. Minimal gore and bad language too, which was nice. "
— Tracey, 3/15/2011 -
" Was going to be a 2 until the ending; now real close to 3. A few too many twists and turns for me, although that's what was listed as making it a great story. "
