In this gripping new thriller from the No 1 Sunday Times bestselling author, Wilde follows a tip that he hopes will finally solve the mystery of his abandonment, but instead sends him straight into the arms of a serial killer. As a young child, Wilde was found living a feral existence in the Ramapo mountains of New Jersey. He has grown up knowing nothing of his family, and even less about his own identity. He is known simply as Wilde, the boy from the woods. But when a match at an online ancestry database puts him on the trail of a close relative - the first family member he has ever known - he thinks he might be about to solve the mystery of who he really is. Only this relation disappears as quickly as he's resurfaced, having experienced an epic fall from grace that can only be described as a waking nightmare. Undaunted, Wilde continues his research on DNA websites where he becomes caught up in a community of doxxers, a secret group committed to exposing anonymous online trolls. Then one by one these doxxers start to die, and it soon becomes clear that a serial killer is targeting this secret community - and that his next victim might be Wilde himself ...

Could Greg Downing still be alive? The more Myron and his close friend Win dig into what really happened, the more dangerous their world becomes . . . Secrets, lies and a murderous conspiracy that stretches back into the past lie at the heart of Harlan Coben’s blistering new thriller.
From the # 1 bestselling author and creator of the hit Netflix drama Stay Close, comes a new page-turning thriller that will keep you guessing until the very last page. David and Cheryl Burroughs are living the dream - married, a beautiful house in the suburbs, a three year old son named Matthew - when tragedy strikes one night in the worst possible way. David awakes to find himself covered in blood, but not his own - his son's. And while he knows he did not murder his son, the overwhelming evidence against him puts him behind bars indefinitely. Five years into his imprisonment, Cheryl's sister arrives - and drops a bombshell. She's come with a photograph that a friend took on vacation at a theme park. The boy in the background seems familiar - and even though David realizes it can't be, he knows it is. It's Matthew, and he's still alive. David plans a harrowing escape from prison, determined to do what seems impossible - save his son, clear his own name, and discover the real story of what happened that devastating night.
'Where is Dexter Ajax?' Sports Agent, Myron Bolitar, is in his new office on the top of a skyscraper in New York when two FBI agents call. The man they refer to is Myron's former client and top basketball player. Ajax's DNA has been found at the scene of a high-profile double-murder, and he is their main suspect. Shocked, Myron turns to his best friend Win, but Win has already left the room which Myron finds a bit . . . suspicious. It can't be Ajax, Myron tells the two agents: the reason Ajax is his 'former' client is because he died of a heart attack three years previously. Myron went to his funeral and gave the eulogy. So how can a man who's already dead be wanted for murder? Secrets, lies, and a murderous conspiracy that stretches back into the past lies at the heart of Harlan Coben's blistering new bestseller. ____________________________________ HARLAN COBEN never ever lets you down - LEE CHILD HARLAN COBEN: simply one of the all-time greats - GILLIAN FLYNN HARLAN COBEN is the modern master of the hook and twist - DAN BROWN HARLAN COBEN is unbelievably brilliant - RICHARD OSMAN HARLAN COBEN is a GREAT writer - JOHN GRISHAM

When Charleston's founders moved their settlement across the Ashley River to the peninsula in 1680, they hoped for protection from pirate and Native American attacks, as well as increased trade and healthier living conditions. Their first three wishes came true, but not the final one. Life in colonial Charles Towne was dangerous--epidemic diseases, primitive medical practices, and a harsh environment led to the early demise of rich and poor alike. The graveyards of churches and public burial grounds quickly filled. Today, Charleston's historic cemeteries are almost as common a sight downtown as the churches that define the city. These tree-shrouded glades invite tourists and residents to explore the resting places of Charleston's most illustrious and interesting personalities. Charleston's Historic Cemeteries offers a guided pictorial tour of the elaborate gravestones and elegant inscriptions dedicated to the famous and infamous, including William Rhett and his adversary, the pirate Stede Bonnet. With dozens of illustrated stories about the transformation of funerals, tombstones, and mourning customs in America during the past 300 years, the book details how Charleston became the home of a historically unique, city-wide gallery of mortuary sculpture.
