De: Harlan Coben

Narrado por: Steven Weber

____________________________

Thirty years ago, a child was found in the New Jersey backwoods.

He had been living a feral existence, with no memory of how he got there or even who he is. Everyone just calls him Wilde.

Now a former soldier and security expert, he lives off the grid, shunned by the community - until they need him.

A child has gone missing. With her family suspecting she's just playing a disappearing game, nobody seems concerned except for criminal attorney Hester Crimstein. She contacts Wilde, asking him to use his unique skills to find the girl.

But even he can find no trace of her. One day passes, then a second, then a third.

On the fourth, a human finger shows up in the mail.

And now Wilde knows this is no game. It's a race against time to save the girl's life - and expose the town's dark trove of secrets...

Reseñas de la Crítica

'The first-class thriller you'd expect from a master ... his descriptions of the ploys used by sociopathic politicians to corrupt objective truth & render the news somehow negotiable are the best I've ever seen, read or heard.' JAMES O'BRIEN

'Thriller-lovers who just want some adrenaline to lift their spirits should escape with this riveting page-turner from the hugely popular author and screenwriter, Harlan Coben' MAIL ONLINE

'One of the world's finest thriller writers is at the very top of his game' PETER JAMES

Enjoyable listen but blurry around the edges

The narrator is superb and brings the witty dialogue to life. The story is entertaining enough, but weak in places, not as crisp and punchy as Win, which I highly recommend

Explosive end to story

Once more a fabulous read from Harland! Will be starting his follow-up book Match!!

Incrível!!

Harlan Coben é um autor incrível. Suas histórias são instigantes e misteriosas. A característica que mais me fascina, é a habilidade de criar um final inimaginável com uma reviravolta na história amarrando todas as pontas soltas.

harlan coben is the best.

Great story with a fantastic narrator

I really enjoyed this book. Definitely had me fooled for a second. My favourite part? Hester!

Unexpected

I’d put off listening, but had this in my wish list for ages. It’s not what I expected, but I loved it. A more emotionally driven story of the personalities of the characters, with a few unexpected twists. I hope we see more of Hester - what a character!

Coben does it again

Don't let the title fool you. This is a wonderful story that is much more than a book about a boy from the woods. Author Harlan Coben has written an amazing story that will capture your interest and your heart. The lives of almost everyone in this community are forever changed by the events that unfold thanks to the boy from the woods. So, on second thought, I guess it really is about a boy from the woods. The audible book performed by Steven Weber is excellent.
