Publisher's summary

Marc Seidman awakens to find himself in an ICU, hooked up to an IV, his head swathed in bandages. Twelve days earlier, he had had an enviable life as a successful surgeon, living in a peaceful suburban neighborhood with his beautiful wife and a baby he adored. Now he lies in a hospital bed, shot by an unseen assailant. His wife has been killed, and his 6-month-old daughter, Tara, has vanished. But just when his world seems forever shattered, something arrives to give Marc a new hope: a ransom note.

Both a white-knuckle thriller and a story about the loyalty of old friends and the bond between parent and child, No Second Chance is another masterpiece from an author who writes "suspense at its finest" (Jeffrey Deaver).

Kept my interest

Where does No Second Chance rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I'm relatively new to audio books, so I'm no expert, but I enjoyed this book! Never read anything by Coben before, but I will again in the future. Good purchase!

Full of unexpected twists and turns

Harlan Cobden is my favorite author. I almost feel like I have travelled to New Jersey.

Solid mystery worth credit

Very good book. Scott Brick could read a restaurant menu and make it interesting. But worth your time if you like good mystery plot and ending.

Slow and slower

My wife and I got this as a time passer for a trip. After having read a coulpa 'Myron Boltar' novels we were looking forward to it. Sorry to say, but it did not compare. An interesting story, but we had the feeling that there was a lot of filler in it. Sorry, Harlin.

Excellent in all ways

Another very compelling story. This is proof that an excellent story can be told without a lot of foul language. Thanks. I appreciate that.

Whiplash maneuvers!

so many twists and turns, ups and downs that my neck hurts....in a totally good way! In my opinion, Harlan Cobens best book. Have reàd it twice now and still love it. And of course, having it read by Scott Brick was an extra bonus....one of my favorite. narrators...a winning combination.
