The Stranger by Harlan Coben
386 Pages
"The Stranger appears out of nowhere, perhaps in a bar, or a parking lot,
or at the grocery store. His identity is unknown. His motives are
unclear. His information is undeniable. Then he whispers a few words in
your ear and disappears, leaving you picking up the pieces of your
shattered world. Adam Price has a lot to lose: a comfortable marriage to
a beautiful woman, two wonderful sons, and all the trappings of the
American Dream: a big house, a good job, a seemingly perfect life. Then
he runs into the Stranger. When he learns a devastating secret about his
wife, Corinne, he confronts her, and the mirage of perfection
disappears as if it never existed at all. Soon Adam finds himself
tangled in something far darker than even Corinne's deception, and
realizes that if he doesn't make exactly the right moves, the conspiracy
he's stumbled into will not only ruin lives--it will end them."
I like Harlan Coben as an author. His books have good pacing and usually an interesting plot. This book is good also although a little far-fetched.
