Synopsis (from Amazon): A perfect family is shattered in RUN AWAY, the new thriller from the master of domestic suspense, Harlan Coben.
You've lost your daughter.
She's addicted to drugs and to an abusive boyfriend. And she's made it clear that she doesn't want to be found.
Then, by chance, you see her playing guitar in Central Park. But she's not the girl you remember. This woman is living on the edge, frightened, and clearly in trouble.
You don't stop to think. You approach her, beg her to come home.
She runs.
And you do the only thing a parent can do: you follow her into a dark and dangerous world you never knew existed. Before you know it, both your family and your life are on the line. And in order to protect your daughter from the evils of that world, you must face them head on.

One (or more) Sentence Summary: Wow. That is about all I can say. What a hard topic to write about - a parent's nightmare. Yet today, it is such a reality. What would I do to protect and save my child from an addictive situation? Run Away so good and so real.
The characters had me on the run through out the whole book with some really shocking events. There was lots of unexpected things that happen and people killed off (won't spoil who) that I didn't see coming. I have no idea how someone writes a book with so much craziness but reality too. That is the scary part!
Again, what I really think....WOW!

Would I Read Other Books by the Author: This was my first book I read by Harlan Coben. I have always wanted to read some of his books and never got around to it. I will be reading several (if not all) of his past books!
