Really enjoyed reading this stand alone novel (ie not a Myron Bolitar novel) and I whizzed through the pages. Although this is a stand alone novel, Harlan Coben uses characters from other novels (eg Muse) so you feel some familiarity with the characters. Also, the settings for HC's novels all seem to be set around the same area so I am familiar with the area too.
Read this novel in May 2011 on my Kindle in Doha, Qatar.
The novel centres on a District Attorney called Paul Copeland "Cope" who's past revisits him. The woods in question hold dark secrets from the past that involve the disappearance or murder of Cope's sister, it is unfinished business. He reunites with an old flame from his youth to unravel the mysteries.
What he discovers via the links to the past and his Russian heritage change Cope's world around. I particuarly enjoyed the Russian angle and also the family parts.
Well worth a read and an 8/10 from me.
