COMING SOON TO PRIME VIDEO by internationally bestselling author Harlan Coben.

Mickey Bolitar's year can't get much worse. After witnessing his father's death and sending his mom to rehab, he's forced to live with his estranged uncle Myron and switch high schools. Fortunately, he's met a great girl, Ashley, and it seems like things might finally be improving. But then Ashley vanishes. Mickey follows Ashley's trail into a seedy underworld that reveals that Ashley isn't who she claimed to be. And neither was Mickey's father. Soon Mickey learns about a conspiracy so shocking that it leaves him questioning everything about the life he thought he knew.

First introduced to readers in Harlan Coben's novel Live Wire Mickey Bolitar is as quick-witted and clever as his uncle Myron, and eager to go to any length to save the people he cares about. Follow Mickey Bolitar on his next adventure in Seconds Away!

Today's hottest authors love SHELTER New York Times Bestseller
"A mysterious old lady, a terrible evil, a courageous young hero, and a secret that could turn his world upside down--the suspense never lets up. I can't wait for Mickey Bolitar's next adventure."--Rick Riordan, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series

"As in all great thrillers, Coben piles mystery on top of mystery until the suspense is almost unbearable. So many twists and shocks, I wanted to scream. But I had to keep reading instead."--R. L. Stine

"Harlan Coben is a terrific storyteller--a master of mystery, mounting tension and head-snapping plot twists. He showcases these skills brilliantly in Shelter, along with a pitch-perfect voice for teen characters up against both mortal danger and high school. It's a riveting and highly entertaining combination."--Dave Barry

"Gimme Shelter. And give it to my daughters, my nephews, and anyone else who wants a spellbinding novel of mystery and intrigue, adolescence and adulthood, crime and punishment from a writer who's at the very top of his game. I have one word for you: Wow!"--Ridley Pearson, New York Times bestselling author of the Kingdom Keepers and Steel Trapp series
