The Innocent by Harlan Coben
The Innocent by Harlan Coben
The horror of one night is forever etched in Matt Hunter's memory: the night he innocently tried to break up a fight -- and ended up a killer. Now, nine years after his release from prison, his innocence long forgotten, he's an ex-con who takes nothing for granted. With his wife, Olivia, pregnant and the two of them closing on a house in his hometown, things are looking up. Until the day Matt gets a shocking, inexplicable video call from Olivia's phone. And in an instant, the unraveling begins.
A mysterious man who begins tailing Matt turns up dead. A beloved nun is murdered. And all signs point to a former criminal with one murder already under his belt: Matt. But Matt is unwilling to lose everything a second time, so Olivia and he are forced outside the law in a desperate attempt to save their future together.
