American author Harlan Coben has a true talent for penning page-turning crime thrillers. Here on Crime Fiction Lover a couple of our favourites include the standalone novels Just One Look and Tell No One, which featured one of the baddest badman found in the genre in the form of bleach-blond Korean hitman Eric Wu. Corben’s also known for his Myron Bolitar series which includes ten books, and last year Myron’s nephew Mickey Bolitar appeared in the young adult thriller Shelter.

Well, Mickey is back in Seconds Away which is released today and we’ve got five hardback copies to give away thanks to publishing house Orion. Shelter ended with a cliff-hanger and Seconds Away takes up the storyline with Mickey and his new friends Ema and Spoon struggling to find out what happened to Rachel. They need to uncover the truth about the Butcher of Lodz, and gradually the mystery surrounding the death of Mickey’s father unfolds.

Enter now to win a copy – a great gift for yourself, or for a teenager you know.
