What this book is about
Marc Seidman wakes up in a hospital with no memory of what happened. His wife is dead. His infant daughter Tara is missing. Six weeks have passed. A ransom demand arrives — he pays — and Tara doesn't come back. No Second Chance is a Coben standalone thriller — propulsive, intensely plotted, with the question of what really happened that night driving every chapter.
