Darkest Fear

Edgar Award-winner Harlan Coben brings us his most astonishing—and deeply personal—novel yet.

And it all begins when Myron Bolitar’s ex tells him he’s a father . . . of a dying thirteen-year-old boy.. Myron never saw it coming.

A surprise visit from an ex-girlfriend is unsettling enough. But Emily Downing’s news brings him to his knees. Her son Jeremy is dying and needs a bone-marrow transplant—from a donor who has vanished without a trace.

Then comes the real shocker: The boy is Myron’s son, conceived the night before her wedding to another man.. Staggered by the news, Myron plunges into a search for the missing donor.

But finding him means cracking open a dark mystery that involves a broken family, a brutal kidnapping spree, and the FBI. Somewhere in the sordid mess is the donor who disappeared.

And as doubts emerge about Jeremy’s true paternity, a child vanishes, igniting a chain reaction of heartbreaking truth and chilling revelation..
