Harlan Coben
Tell No One
“I wish i could tell you that through the tragedy i mined some undiscovered, life-altering absolute that i could pass on to you. I didn’t. The clichés apply-people are what count, life is precious, materialism is over rated, and the little things matter, live in the moment-and i can repeat them to you ad nauseam. You might listen, but you won’t internalize. Tragedy hammers it hm. Tragedy etches into your soul. You might not be happier. But you will be better.”

“It was one lesson he never forgot. You don’t sit back when you or a loved one is being assaulted. And you don’t act like the government with their “proportional responses” and all that nonsense. If someone hurts you, mercy and pity must be put aside. You eliminate the enemy. You scorch the earth.”

Harlan Coben
Tell No One
“Three days ago, I was a dedicated doctor sleepwalking through my own life. Since then, I had seen a ghost, gotten emails from the dead, had become a suspect in not one but two murders, was on the run from the law, had assaulted a police officer, and had enlisted the aid of a known dug dealer.”
Harlan Coben
Tell No One
