Will, while never having forgotten his love for Julie, has fallen in love and is living with Sheila Rogers. On her deathbed, Will's mother tells both Will and his father that Ken is alive. Because of the amount of Ken's blood discovered at the scene of the killing, Will and his parents have always thought that Ken had died. The reason for this is that Will Klein's brother, Ken, was, eleven years previous to the beginning of the tale, accused of raping and murdering Will's former girlfriend Julie Miller. The author has made his protagonist a director of the institution albeit one who is kept away from the public gaze when it comes to fundraising and similar events. Coben's acknowledgments, it is obvious that he admires the work Covenant House does. This story is told against a backdrop of the fate of homeless kids in New York and Covenant House, a body that attempts to rescue those children from their lives of prostitution, drugs and all round general crime and utter despair. Coben's other novels - Darkest Fear, The Final Detail, One False Move, Back Spin, Fade Away, Drop Shot, Deal Breaker and Tell No One include a series featuring Myron Bolitar but Gone For Good, like Tell No One before it, is a stand alone adventure. With Gone For Good he has produced yet another of his mazes made words to mystify and delude his fans. By very definition, then, he must know what mystery readers enjoy. Harlan Coben has won the Edgar Award, the Shamus Award and the Anthony Award.
