About this listen

Marc Seidman's idyllic world is brutally ripped apart when he is gunned down in his home. Twelve days later he wakes up in hospital to learn that his wife is dead and his baby daughter Tara is missing. A ransom demand is made and agreed to. But something goes terribly wrong. The kidnappers escape, and Marc remembers the ransom note's ominous warning: there will be no second chance.

An agonising eighteen months pass with no word. And then, as Marc has just about given up all hope of seeing his daughter again, a package arrives with a note attached: want a second chance?

The note is chilling, but Marc sees only one thing: the chance to save his daughter. And, haunted by deception and deadly secrets - about his wife, about an old love, and about his own past - he vows to bring Tara home ... at any cost.

Critic reviews

Coben is expert at taking such a situation and following it through in an exciting and moving way. No Second Chance is a consummate and thrilling piece of storytelling

Harlan Coben is an American who has been heralded as the successor to John Grisham. His heroes are ordinary guys dropped into horrible situations. He's a much better writer than Grisham; No Second Chance has a terrific opening . . . writers don't really go into Coben's line of work to make us turn the pages slowly; if you can devour it at a sitting, it's a hit

Page-turning tension makes this one of the top thrillers of the summer

[A] superb thriller writer on great form

Gripping, high-octane thriller in which a man is driven to his limits in search of his kidnapped daughter

Propelled into the front rank of thriller writers with his superb novel Tell No One, Coben's latest book proves that he has the wit and stamina to stay there. This is another tautly plotted thriller, written with heartfelt emotion and dashes of wit

Most relevant

My second Harlan Coban audiobook and a bit disappointing. Not a bad story but nothing special ... and a little silly in places. I much preferred 'Caught' by the same author.
