Summary
Summary
The world's greatest thriller writers prove they're up to a unique challenge in this action-packed, audio-original collection.
It all started with a simple, yet sneakily difficult challenge from global best-selling author Harlan Coben: Pick a bird of prey, then use it as the inspiration for a brand-new story.
The response from some of the best writers on the planet: Game on!
The result: Eleven stories that are twisty, scary, surprising and bursting with imagination. An egg worth more than its weight in gold. A mysterious operative known only as Owl. An eagle-watcher who sees more than she should. Even a story that somehow places the Maltese Falcon in a nursing home.
Birds of Prey: The Harlan Coben Challenge is a highly bingeable audiobook that's a treat for thriller fans.
Introduced by Harlan Coben, Birds of Prey features these stories:
- “The Coffin Bearer” by Tess Gerritsen
- “Precious Cargo” by C.J. Box
- “Owl” by Kathy Reichs
- “Kudzu” by Ace Atkins
- “Predator or Prey?” by Heather Graham
- “Silent as a Shadow” by S.A. Cosby
- “Jail Birds” by Hank Phillippi Ryan
- “The Falcon” by Robert Dugoni
- “Watchers” by Allison Brennan
- “Red of Beak and Claw” by Gregg Hurwitz
- “Hawkshaw Hunting” by Kelley Armstrong
Birds of Prey: The Harlan Coben Challenge was created with International Thriller Writers (ITW). C.J. Box served as project editor.
