He has over 80 million books in print, he claims Stephen King as a close friend and Dan Brown as a frat brother, and if you’ve been on Netflix in the past 6 years, you’ve no doubt seen trailers for one of his suspenseful and very successful television series.

The man in question is best-selling author and television producer Harlan Coben… who also happens to be the focus of this listener-suggested episode! 

How did Harlan move from basketball player to travel agent to best-selling author? Why does the novelist prefer to write about disappearance rather than murder, and how does Harlan come up with the premise behind thrillers like “Fool Me Once”? In real life, is Harlan anything like the famous Myron Bolitar character he created?  And why exactly ARE there so many Harlan Coben original series on Netflix? 

Don’t let us keep you in suspense… join us for this intriguing episode on the man who has taken Netflix by storm, Harlan Coben. 

The show is also available on your favorite podcast app and the Scandal Water Podcast YouTube channel.
