'When the first bullet hit my chest, I thought of my daughter.' Dr Marc Seidman is living in a classic American suburb in New Jersey with his new wife, Monica, and their baby daughter, Tara, when the shocking attack occurs. Marc is left barely clinging to life. When he wakes up at the hospital, he learns that Monica is dead - and that their daughter Tara is missing from her crib. For two weeks there is no word. Then a ransom demand is made for Tara's return. But Marc makes a mistake. Something goes terribly wrong during the money drop. The ransom money vanishes. The kidnappers get away. Crushed, Marc waits by the phone for another call. Days turn to weeks as Marc remembers the ransom note's ominous warning: THERE WILL BE NO SECOND CHANCE. The police, believing that Tara is probably dead, start to move on. Eighteen agonizing months pass with no word and no new clues. And then, when Marc has just about given up all hope of seeing his daughter again, he gets a package with a chilling note attached: WANT A SECOND CHANCE? And inside the package the kidnapper provides proof that Tara is still alive...

Seller's Description:
Good in good dust jacket. Outline: -No Second Chance is yet another of Harlan Coben`s terrifying explorations of the worst of fears--Marc Seidman wakes in hospital after narrowly surviving a shooting in which his wife died and their baby daughter went missing. The handover of a ransom from his rich in-laws goes wrong and Seidman realises that he is not only without wife and daughter--and the sister who may have been an accomplice--but he is also the principal suspect. The reader knows even more than Seidman just how much jeopardy he is in--Coben does a brilliantly disturbing job of introducing us to a pair of psychotics who are in charge of the ransom plot and who plan to take Seidman and his in-laws for another ride into insecurity and hell. Marc turns to the one person he thinks can help him--the ex-girlfriend who still has a place in his heart and used to be a senior Federal agent. The problem is that Rachel comes with baggage and enemies all of her own. -> the publisher of this PAPERBACK book is Orion Books Limited The date of this copy is 2007 booksalvation have grade it as Good and it will be shipped from our UK warehouse This book is from the Series.

No quibble refund if not completely satisfied.
Dr. Marc Seidman is a humanitarian, a plastic surgeon who travels the world, repairing the most horrendous wounds and birth defects for people who couldn't afford him in a million years. Who would want to attempt (and narrowly miss succeeding at) killing such an admirable man; to murder his wife, and abduct his six-month old daughter? I read a lot of mystery/thriller novels, and have to say I never figured this one out. The last chapter and epilogue were both stunners. Highly recommended, if you like your mysteries truly puzzling, and your heroes emotional and sensitve. Harlan Coben knows how to write 'em, for sure.

Great Read
Lots of twists and turns. I was very surprised with the ending. All of Coben's books are great.

Dare you to put it down
This author rarely gives you a totally wrapped-up, happy-ending, global solution. And the guilt seems to seep around mightily. But maybe that is his realistic tribute to the human condition. This plot is very convoluted: a couple of cops zoom off on "solutions" that--of course--make a suspect of the protagonist, and new people burst onto the scene just when you have almost absorbed the presence of the original crop of characters. It's fun to reconstruct the journey in your mind once you know its ending, and oh what a wild ride to get there. The first person narrator is both flawed and sympathetic, as he goes through every conceivable twist and complication and ego-diversion to reach his kidnapped daughter. There are a couple of wierdos straight out of Dickens, a manic-depressive wife and a delightful gun-toting farmer with a web bride. Murder, kidnapping, male bonding, and the slipped stitches of an old romance--the old cliche fits: hard to put down.

Rollercoaster Ride
A great book and fun to read, Coben brings you hard and fast into the story and makes you lose your ability to put the book down. A great book from start to finish
