The bestselling author of more than 36 novels, including *Fool Me Once, Tell No One* and the *Myron Bolitar* series, Coben is renowned for his ability to build tension, wrong-foot his readers and create intricately plotted narrative worlds. His thrillers have been published in 46 languages and adapted into more than twenty television and film adaptations, including Netflix hits The Stranger, Stay Close and I Will Find You. He is also the first author to win crime fiction’s grand triple crown: the Edgar, Shamus and Anthony awards.
In September 2026, Coben came to the Intelligence Squared stage in conversation with BAFTA and Golden Globe Award-Winning Actor, **Bill Nighy,** to discuss the secrets of a good thriller. Drawing on the themes of his new book *Plot Twist*, Coben gave audiences an insight into the artistic process that goes into thriller writing and explained his own journey from suburban beginnings to publishing phenomenon.
