In this gripping new thriller from the No 1 Sunday Times bestselling author and creator of The Stranger, Wilde follows a tip that he hopes will finally solve the mystery of his abandonment, but instead sends him straight into the arms of a serial killer.

As a young child, Wilde was found living a feral existence in the Ramapo mountains of New Jersey. He has grown up knowing nothing of his family, and even less about his own identity.

He is known simply as Wilde, the boy from the woods.

But when a match at an online ancestry database puts him on the trail of a close relative - the first family member he has ever known - he thinks he might be about to solve the mystery of who he really is. Only this relation disappears as quickly as he's resurfaced, having experienced an epic fall from grace that can only be described as a waking nightmare.

Undaunted, Wilde continues his research on DNA websites where he becomes caught up in a community of doxxers, a secret group committed to exposing anonymous online trolls.

Then one by one these doxxers start to die, and it soon becomes clear that a serial killer is targeting this secret community - and that his next victim might be Wilde himself ...

Reviews for The Match (#2 Wilde)

It's a classic Coben-style (twisty) story, quite probably already on its way to become a TV s e r i e s . --AARP [Harlan Coben is] the modern master of the hook and twist. --Dan Brown Coben is simply one of the all-time greats. --Gillian Flynn Coben never, ever lets you down. --Lee Child Every time you think Harlan Coben couldn't get any better at uncoiling a whip snake of a page-turner, he comes along with a new novel that somehow surpasses its predecessor. --San Francisco Chronicle Praise for Harlan Coben The Boy from the Woods is as much an action as a psychological thriller, as much a riveting read as a superb character study in which Coben challenges himself by taking his story outside his suburban comfort zone. A must-read for any mystery or thriller fan. --Providence Journal [THE MATCH] shows off [Coben's] expert plotting and storytelling, which is fully on display here and makes for one heck of a good read. --Bookreporter Coben's trademarks of brisk plotting, solid action and compelling characters are well matched in The Match. --South Florida Sun Sentinel Harlan Coben's puzzle-box mysteries have inspired numerous Netflix series, and his latest book, The Match, seems poised to follow suit. --Popsugar If you like the Netflix series Stay Close, created by the author, this is a good one to add to your reading list. --CNN So relevant...I only had this for a weekend, and it was done.... I only got two hours of sleep because of [Coben]! --Rachael Ray The brilliance of The Match lies in Coben's capacity to weave staples of the horror genre into a pure, high octane thriller full of twists and turns that is not to be missed. --Providence Journal The crafty Coben knows how to weave a compelling story with intriguing characters, and Wilde is one of his best. --Associated Press The topical follow-up to Coben's best-selling The Boy from the Woods addresses reality shows, DNA searches, cyberbullying, and social media influencers in a suspenseful novel guaranteed to be a hit. --Library Journal (Starred Review) 2022 is the year of Harlan Coben's adrenaline-pumping thrillers. --BuzzFeed
