Harlan Coben

In this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller from Harlan Coben, a dead man's secrets fall into the hands of a vigilante antihero--drawing him down a dangerous road. Over twenty years ago, the heiress Patricia Lockwood was abducted during a robbery of her family's estate, then locked inside an isolated cabin for months. Patricia escaped, but so did her captors -- and the items stolen from her family were never recovered. Until now. On the Upper West Side, a recluse is found murdered in his penthouse apartment, alongside two objects of note: a stolen Vermeer painting and a leather suitcase bearing the initials WHL3. For the first time in years, the authorities have a lead -- not only on Patricia's kidnapping, but also on another FBI cold case -- with the suitcase and painting both pointing them toward one man. Windsor Horne Lockwood III -- or Win, as his few friends call him -- doesn't know how his suitcase and his family's stolen painting ended up with a dead man. But his interest is piqued, especially when the FBI tells him that the man who kidnapped his cousin was also behind an act of domestic terrorism -- and that the conspirators may still be at large. The two cases have baffled the FBI for decades, but Win has three things the FBI doesn't: a personal connection to the case; an ungodly fortune; and his own unique brand of justice.

Et lig på Manhattan, et stjålet maleri og en gammel kuffert giver nye spor i en uopklaret sag om kidnapning og mord. For over 20 år siden blev Patricia Lockwood kidnappet under et hjemmerøveri på familiens gods, hvor hendes far blev myrdet. Det lykkedes Patricia at flygte efter måneder i fangenskab, men sagen forblev uopklaret, og de stjålne familiegenstande blev aldrig fundet igen. Indtil nu. I New York bliver en mand fundet dræbt i sin penthouse-lejlighed sammen med to ting: et stjålet Vermeer-maleri og en gammel kuffert med indgraverede initialer. For første gang i årevis har myndighederne nye spor at gå efter. Kufferten og maleriet leder FBI i retningen af en bestemt mand: Windsor Horne Lockwood III. Eller Win, som hans venner kalder ham. Han aner bare ikke, hvordan hans kuffert og familiens stjålne maleri er havnet i den dræbte mands lejlighed.

En sadistisk morder er på spil i den lille søvnige forstadsby Glen Rock, men det er lige før, morderen forekommer mindre skræmmende end de mere menneskelige problemer, som sender almindelige folks liv ud i total kaos. Tia og Mike havde aldrig forestillet sig, at de ville udspionere deres søn, men 16-årige Adam har efter sin vens selvmord været meget fraværende og trukket sig fra dem. Tia og Mike bliver rystet i deres grundvold, da de en dag ved hjælp af et avanceret overvågningsprogram, som de i hemmelighed har installeret på sønnens computer, læser følgende besked til sønnen fra en anonym afsender: "Hvis vi holder lav profil og tier, sker der ikke noget". Og som om Mike ikke har nok at slås med, kommer han i et slemt dilemma, da han gennem sit job som læge erfarer noget om nabofamilien, som han helst havde været foruden. Da moren til Adams afdøde ven opdager overraskende ting om sin søns formodede selvmord, og da Adam selv pludselig forsvinder sporløst, sender det chokbølger gennem den lille by. Skjulte hemmeligheder kommer langsomt for dagens lys, og måske hænger det hele også sammen med den sadistiske moders offer, som blev tævet til døde." En page-turner. Begynd ikke at læse, hvis du har vigtige ting for næste dag, for Hold tæt vil holde dig vågen hele natten." –San Francisco Chronicle"En ven gav mig Harlan Cobens første roman i gave. Jeg slugte den på en nat og bestilte derefter alle han romaner via internettet. Tryllebundet af kombinationen af suspense, humor, vold og hans bund-solide skrivestil, læste jeg den ene efter den anden. Der er ikke mange forfattere, som kan tåle den slags intens granskning. Men jeg kan simpelthen ikke få nok af manden!" –Liza Marklund
