Harlan Coben

#1 New York Times bestselling author Harlan Coben is the creator of the multiple-award-winning Myron Bolitar series and two dozen stand-alone novels, as well as the Mickey Bolitar series for young adults. His latest novel THINK TWICE, published by Grand Central, debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list.

His next novel, NOBODY’S FOOL, will be published in March, 2025, and picks up a year after the events of FOOL ME ONCE, the #1 bestseller and global Netflix hit. In October 2025, Grand Central will publish the highly anticipated suspense novel he is co-writing with Reese Witherspoon.

Coben’s novels have been called “ingenious” (New York Times), “poignant and insightful” (Los Angeles Times), “consistently entertaining” (Houston Chronicle), “superb” (Chicago Tribune), and “must reading” (Philadelphia Inquirer), and have appeared at the top of all of the major bestseller lists including the New York Times, London Times, Le Monde, Publishers Weekly, Los Angeles Times, Wall Street Journal and USA Today. His books are published in 45 languages and have been #1 bestsellers in nearly a dozen countries. Over 80 million copies of Coben’s books are in print worldwide.

The Netflix series adaptation of Coben’s novel Fool Me Once was released in January 2024 and became an instant #1 global sensation. It joins the hit releases of previous Netflix adaptations of Coben’s novels The Stranger, Stay Close, The Woods, The Innocent, and Gone for Good, with more novel-based series still to come. Television series have also been created in France and Germany based on his novels No Second Chance and Just One Look. 

The French film of Harlan’s novel Tell No One was released in the US to stellar reviews and sold-out showings, becoming the top-grossing foreign film of that year. It won the Lumiere (French Golden Globe) for best picture and was nominated for nine Cesars (French Oscar) and won four, for best director, best actor, best music and best editing.
