Darkest Fear - Harlan Coben

Edgar Award-winner Harlan Coben brings us his most astonishing-and deeply personal-novel
yet. And it all begins when Myron Bolitar's ex tells him he's a father . . . of a dying
thirteen-year-old boy.

Myron never saw it coming. A surprise visit from an ex-girlfriend
is unsettling enough. But Emily Downing's news brings him to his knees. Her son Jeremy
is dying and needs a bone-marrow transplant-from a donor who has vanished without
a trace. Then comes the real shocker: The boy is Myron's son, conceived the night
before her wedding to another man.

Staggered by the news, Myron plunges into a search
for the missing donor. But finding him means cracking open a dark mystery that involves
a broken family, a brutal kidnapping spree, and the FBI. Somewhere in the sordid
mess is the donor who disappeared. And as doubts emerge about Jeremy's true paternity,
a child vanishes, igniting a chain reaction of heartbreaking truth and chilling revelation.
