Harlan Coben's Final Twist (2026)

When church-going mother Betsy Faria is found stabbed to death in her quiet Missouri home, police initially suspect suicide ... she'd tried it before. But multiple stab wounds and the surrounding evidence point to her husband. It seems like an open-and-shut case: trial, conviction, done. But then, more dead bodies and strange twists lead back to Betsy's murder ... unraveling a story everyone thought they understood.

For 18-year-old Bonnie Craig, what begins as a routine walk to the school bus takes a tragic turn when she disappears. Later that afternoon, Bonnie's body is found in the water near a trail, and with no signs of foul play police initially rule her death a hiking accident. But her mother, Karen, an Alaska State Trooper working undercover as a drug officer, notices defensive wounds on her daughter's body and refuses to accept that explanation. Could Bonnie have been murdered in retaliation for one of her mother's cases? Karen fights to reopen the investigation, launching a 12-year pursuit of justice as investigators follow a series of difficult leads to prove murder.

In June 2011, Miami businessman Camilo Salazar drops his baby off at his wife's office and is never seen again. Across town, a business magnate goes missing on the same day. When detectives connect the two missing-person cases, the investigation stretches from Camilo's tight-knit family into South Florida's business elite and the world of professional mixed martial arts fighting. Through years of dogged investigative work and piecing together phone records, detectives slowly connect a circle of men with wildly different lives. As the case grows colder, what emerges is a sprawling conspiracy that ultimately takes investigators from Miami all the way to Europe.

In the summer of 2018, beloved Portland chef Dan Brophy arrives at the Oregon Culinary Institute like countless mornings before, unlocking the doors and prepping for the day's students. He never gets the chance to teach, as he's found shot dead in the kitchen, bullet casings scattered around his body. While detectives piece together his final morning and console his grieving widow, they uncover a surprisingly wide web of suspects: decades of former students and colleagues who he may have crossed, and a hobby that connected him to a tight-knit, turbulent community of local mushroom foragers. Investigators comb through every inch of video footage and forensic evidence - and the trail soon leads them somewhere no one expected.
