The Boy from the Woods
ByPublisher Description
A man with a mysterious past must find a missing teenage girl in this shocking thriller from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Run Away.
Thirty years ago, Wilde was found as a boy living feral in the woods, with no memory of his past. Now an adult, he still doesn't know where he comes from, and another child has gone missing.
No one seems to take Naomi Pine's disappearance seriously, not even her father—with one exception. Hester Crimstein, a television criminal attorney, knows through her grandson that Naomi was relentlessly bullied at school. Hester asks Wilde—with whom she shares a tragic connection—to use his unique skills to help find Naomi.
Wilde can't ignore an outcast in trouble, but in order to find Naomi he must venture back into the community where he has never fit in, a place where the powerful are protected even when they harbor secrets that could destroy the lives of millions . . . secrets that Wilde must uncover before it's too late.

“Pretty standard Harlan Coben fare: fast-paced, tense, funny when it needs to, but not without a certain degree of heart and sensitivity.
The twists are alright if not as shocking as advertised, but I wish Coben had lent more pages to developing Wilde's character. This could have been a longer, more fulfilling book if we get as much airtime with Wilde's backstory as we did with the wealthy psychopaths. But I digress. I know there's a follow-up, and I'll be reading that.”
