Harlan Coben

Harlan Coben has won an Edgar Award, Shamus Award and Anthony Award--the first author to win all three. His new novel is Hold Tight.

One exchange from his brief Q & A with Anna Metcalfe for the Financial Times:

What book changed your life?

Marathon Man by William Goldman, when I was 16. It was the first book that gripped me. I thought: one day, I want to do this.
