Tên sách: Đừng nói một ai
Tên tác giả: Harlan Coben
Dịch giả: Phá Hiểu
NXB Hội nhà văn, 2008

Khi bạn dán mắt vào trang sách đầu tiên bởi một bí mật mà người chồng trẻ không thể thốt ra trước cô vợ xinh đẹp của mình, bạn có bao giờ mường tượng rằng chỉ đến trang sách cuối cùng, Harlan Coben mới đưa độc giả đi đến tận cùng câu trả lời ấy?

Những bất ngờ không lường trước xung quanh câu chuyện săn đuổi hồi hộp đến nghẹt thở, mà nhân vật chính là bác sĩ Beck, liên tiếp gây những ấn tượng chấn động với bạn trong suốt 400 trang sách Đừng nói một ai.

Những bí mật thậm chí còn không được các thành viên trong gia đình thổ lộ với nhau. Những án mạng bí ẩn tưởng như vùi lấp theo năm tháng bất ngờ được phát hiện. Tên tử tù KillRoy được coi là kẻ đã giết chết người vợ yêu của bác sĩ Beck ngỡ như đã khép lại án mạng của 8 năm trước. Cái chết bất ngờ quá đỗi đau lòng của một nữ nghệ sĩ nhiếp ảnh. Những tin nhắn với ký hiệu mà chỉ có hai vợ chồng bác sĩ Beck ngầm hiểu bỗng dưng xuất hiện. Beck đã trở thành nạn nhân của một cuộc săn đuổi tầm cỡ, mục tiêu của cả FBI lẫn những tên tội phạm nguy hiểm nhất… Bạn sẽ không thể nào dự đoán nổi mạch chuyện sẽ hé lộ những gì phía trước, khi những bí mật được xếp chồng lên nhau, từng đầu mối, từng chi tiết đều liên tiếp dẫn đến những lối ngoặt mới.

Câu chuyện tình giữa Beck và Elizabeth lôi cuốn người đọc với những tình cảm chân thực và những dồn nén của cảm xúc. Một nụ cười của cô bé lên bảy, một tình bạn từ thuở con nít, nụ hôn đầu tiên ở tuổi mười hai, một cặp vợ chồng trẻ thắm thiết bên nhau… tất cả vỡ òa nhức nhối sau cái chết tức tưởi của Elizabeth, vón cục và chặt thắt trong Beck chẳng cách gì nguôi ngoai ở 8 năm sau. Nó cũng khiến một người khác chẳng quản nguy hiểm đến mạng sống của mình âm thầm trở về, lén lút hẹn hò, để được yêu, được sống thực sự. Thấm đẫm trong những số phận éo le còn phải kể tới ông bố vợ của Beck, Hoyt. Người đàn ông vốn là một cảnh sát lão luyện này đã vì tình yêu với cô con gái mà xông pha vào hết thảy những nguy hiểm, đã sống cùng những bí mật chôn sâu, cùng những nỗi đau của kẻ đã phản bội lại người bạn thân thiết nhất…

Lôi cuốn với nhịp điệu căng thẳng cùng chuỗi hành động kịch tính không ngừng trong một cốt truyện liên tục có bước ngoặt, Đừng nói một ai thêm một lần nữa khẳng định vị thế hàng đầu của Harlan Coben trong số những tác gia trinh thám hiện nay. Cuốn tiểu thuyết thuộc hàng “bom tấn”, là tác phẩm bán chạy số một của The New York Times, đã giành được nhiều đề cử và nhiều giải thưởng nhất trong năm 2001 (đề cử một giải Adgar, một giải Anthony, một giải Macavity, một giải Nero, một giải Barry; giành được giải Audie cho Sách nói Trinh thám/Bí ẩn hay nhất). Đừng nói một ai còn được chuyển thể thành kịch bản phim Pháp Ne le dis à personne, vừa giành thắng lợi lớn cả về doanh thu và giải thưởng: giải Lumière (giải Quả cầu vàng của Pháp) cho bộ phim có hình ảnh đẹp nhất, được đề cử chín giải César (giải thưởng lớn của Pháp) và thu về bốn giải. Bộ phim dự kiến sẽ phát hành tại Mỹ vào tháng 8 năm nay.

Tác giả cuốn sách - Harlan Coben - là nhà văn Mỹ gốc Do Thái, đến với văn học từ khá sớm. Năm 26 tuổi, Coben ra cuốn sách đầu tay.

Edgar Award-winner Harlan Coben brings us his most astonishing--and deeply personal--novel yet. And it all begins when Myron Bolitar's ex tells him he's a father ... of a dying thirteen-year-old boy.

Myron never saw it coming. A surprise visit from an ex-girlfriend is unsettling enough. But Emily Downing's news brings him to his knees.

Staggered by the news, Myron plunges into a search for the missing donor. But finding him means cracking open a dark mystery that involves a broken family, a brutal kidnapping spree, and the FBI. Somewhere in the sordid mess is the donor who disappeared. And as doubts emerge about Jeremy's true paternity, a child vanishes, igniting a chain reaction of heartbreaking truth and chilling revelation.

 

Miracle Cure
by Harlan Coben​

Publisher's Weekly

Coben (Play Dead) adroitly applies the fundamental rules of thrillerdom (offer a raft of potential villains; keep the action moving at breakneck speed) in this highly entertaining novel about a conspiracy apparently designed to prevent the development of a cure for AIDS. When one of a trio of research scientists on the brink of coming up with an AIDS antidote dies, it looks like suicide, but TV journalist Sara Lowell and her husband, NBA star Michael Silverman, who are friends of the clinic's founder, think otherwise. Their suspicions are confirmed when several clinic patients, including the son of a U.S. senator, are murdered. A televangelist with his own agenda, Sara's prominent physician father, and a high-ranking government official all seem intent upon derailing the AIDS research, a situation that becomes most personal when Michael is diagnosed with the disease. Police lieutenant ``Twitch'' Bernstein, a closet homosexual, ultimately comes face-to-face with the person responsible for the killings. The final revelation of the identity of the master conspirator comes as a real surprise. This page-turner also raises some interesting questions about medical research and its funding.

Library Journal

Coben is the author of one previous novel, Play Dead (LJ 4/1/90). His new effort is an uneasy stew of contemporary American types: beautiful good girl who is a TV news celebrity; her sister, beautiful bad girl with a heart of gold; handsome basketball star stricken with AIDS; selfless doctor who may have discovered that disease's cure; totally evil contract killer; and hypocritical TV evangelist. These types and others are stirred into a pretty unbelievable story that ranges from New York City to Washington, D.C. to Bang kok and amasses an impressive body count. Despite such drawbacks, Coben keeps the reader's interest by fleshing out the stereotypes a little bit and moving the plot fast enough to overcome the more incredible aspects. A marginal purchase for public libraries.-- A.J. Wright, Univ. of Alabama, Birmingham

School Library Journal

YA-- Coben casts a dynamic, beautiful, and successful woman, Sara Lowell, and her handsome and famous sports figure, Michael Silverman, as his main characters. Their friend, Dr. Harvey Riker, takes them into his confidence when he tells them that his medical clinic has discovered a cure for AIDS. To his horror, his cured patients are being murdered by a serial killer dubbed the Gay Slasher by the media. Sara's father is in stiff competition with Riker for funding of his cancer clinic and her sister, Cassandra, is romantically involved with the doctor. When Michael collapses on the basketball court and is diagnosed as HIV positive, tracking down the murderer and supporting Riker's clinic take on new dimensions for Sara. This is a fast moving mystery that's sure to capture YAs' attention, especially in light of today's headlines.-- Katherine Fitch, Lake Braddock Secondary School, Burke, VA
