Harlan Coben was born on January 4, 1962, in Newark, New Jersey, United States, to Carl Gerald Coben and Barbara (Kronberg) Coben.
Coben graduated from Amherst College as a Bachelor of Arts in 1984.
Coben made his mark in the 1990s with mystery novels that embrace the worlds of professional sports and high-powered media glitz. His first, Play Dead (1990), concerns a Boston Celtics basketball star, David Baskin, who fakes his own death on his Australian honeymoon.
Library Journal contributor Marylaine Block noted that Play Dead is “an engrossing suspense novel”; the novel was also, Block stated, “primarily great romantic suspense” rather than a sports book. The same School Library Journal critic found Coben’s second novel, Miracle Cure, a “fast-moving mystery”. Here, the subject is the fictional development of a cure for acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) by a pair of brilliant researchers, one of whom is murdered, as are several of their clinic’s Patients.
Coben went on to develop a new investigative hero in later novels, that include Deal Breaker and the 1996 Dropshot. As their titles imply, the series protagonist is a sports agent; but Myron Bolitar is anything but typical.
Coben's most recent novels Home and Don't Let Go were published on September 20, 2016, and in 2017 respectively.
Coben is the creator and executive producer for several television shows including the upcoming Netflix Original drama SAFE starring Michael C. Hall, Audrey Fleurot and Amanda Abbington.
