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.
