Free Audio Book : Shelter, By Harlan Coben

Mickey Bolitar's year couldn't have started off much worse. After witnessing his father's tragic demise and sending his mother into rehab, he's left with no choice but to move in with his estranged uncle, Myron, and switch to a new high school.

A fresh school means fresh friendships and adversaries. Luckily, Mickey finds himself a fantastic new girlfriend, Ashley. For a brief moment, it seems like Mickey's tumultuous life is finally on the mend—until Ashley suddenly disappears without a trace. Unwilling to let another person vanish from his life, Mickey embarks on a quest to follow Ashley's trail, leading him into a shady underworld. Here, he unravels the truth that the seemingly sweet and introverted Ashley isn't who she claimed to be. And as it turns out, neither was Mickey's father. As Mickey delves deeper, he stumbles upon a conspiracy of such magnitude that high school drama pales in comparison. This revelation leaves him questioning every facet of the life he once believed he knew.

First introduced to readers in Harlan Coben's adult novel, "Live Wire," Mickey Bolitar possesses the same sharp wit and resourcefulness as his uncle, Myron. Mickey is unflinchingly determined to go to any lengths to protect those he holds dear. With this series, Coben introduces a new generation of readers to his masterful storytelling and sardonic humor, qualities that have earned him awards, international acclaim, and a devoted following.
