"Pure, nasty fun...beautifully written and acted, 'Tell No One' is a labyrinth in which to get deliriously lost." - Stephen Holden, The New York Times

"Tell everyone about 'Tell No One'...a top-notch thriller so twisty you may forget to breathe."- Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

Based on Harlan Coben's international best selling thriller about pediatrician Alexandre Beck who still grieves the murder of his beloved wife Margot Beck eight years earlier. When two bodies are found near the scene of the crime, the police reopen the case and Alex becomes a suspect again. The mystery deepens when Alex receives an anonymous e-mail with a link to a video clip that seems to suggest Margot is somehow still alive and a message to "Tell No One."
