Gone for Good (novel)

Gone for Good is the fourth stand-alone novel by American crime writer Harlan Coben, published in 2002.

Then, on a warm suburban night in the Kleins' affluent New Jersey neighborhood, a young woman—a girl Will had once loved—was found raped and murdered in her family's basement.

With the evidence against him overwhelming, Ken simply vanished, spending the next decade as the elusive subject of rumors, speculation, and an international manhunt.

And Will, who always believed in his brother's innocence, has found evidence that Ken is alive—even as he is struck by another act of betrayal.

As the two dark dramas unwind around him, Will is pulled into a violent mystery, haunted by signs that Ken is trying to contact him after all these years.
