Believe it or not, this is my debut Coben, and now I'm wondering why I haven't picked him up before.
Gosh, what a page turner. And what a writer. I think I picked a good 'un to get a taste of this author.
Serving a life sentence for murdering his young son, David Burroughs is innocent. Five years into his sentence, his sister-in-law finds evidence that there is no doubt his son is alive. The only way he can prove his innocence is to break out of prison and to then find and save his son. (Full synopsis here)
This is a tense and white-knuckle ride and utterly unputdownable. It's well strategised; it has a very credible unfurling and reveal, and is gripping right to the end.
Obviously, I'm going to pick up many more Cobens!
