'When the first bullet hit my chest, I thought of my daughter.' Dr Marc Seidman is living in a classic American suburb in New Jersey with his new wife, Monica, and their baby daughter, Tara, when the shocking attack occurs. Marc is left barely clinging to life. When he wakes up at the hospital, he learns that Monica is dead - and that their daughter Tara is missing from her crib. For two weeks there is no word. Then a ransom demand is made for Tara's return. But Marc makes a mistake. Something goes terribly wrong during the money drop. The ransom money vanishes. The kidnappers get away. Crushed, Marc waits by the phone for another call. Days turn to weeks as Marc remembers the ransom note's ominous warning: THERE WILL BE NO SECOND CHANCE. The police, believing that Tara is probably dead, start to move on. Eighteen agonizing months pass with no word and no new clues. And then, when Marc has just about given up all hope of seeing his daughter again, he gets a package with a chilling note attached: WANT A SECOND CHANCE? And inside the package the kidnapper provides proof that Tara is still alive...

Book Overview: TELL NO ONE has now sold over 250,000 in paperback with six weeks in the top ten. GONE FOR GOOD was in the charts for seven weeks and sold over 60,000 copies in trade editions. NO SECOND CHANCE is another huge stand-alone novel with the same elements of love, loss and betrayal that have made Harlan Coben's previous novels global bestsellers. Harlan has swiftly established himself as one of the few crime authors who appeals to both men and women; and to genre-fans and mainstream readers equally. In that way he really is the new Grisham. TELL NO ONE is in the process of being made into a Hollywood movie with Michael Apted directing.
