Retrieved February 21, 2023. I have been eagerly awaiting the publication of Run Away, Coben's latest thriller for several months, and was excited to get my hands on an advance copy a few days before its release. While this won't surpass Home as my favorite of his books, Coben has another terrific book on his hands. A brief spotting in central park reopens old wounds and Simon is desperate to find his little girl again, but when he approaches her, she bolts. What follows is a slippery slope of secrets and lies, violence and cover ups. With Private Investigator Elena Ramirez also sniffing around, suddenly what started as a simple cat and mouse chase begins to unravel some much more sinister activities.
