Tell No One (novel)

Tell No One is a 2001 thriller novel by American writer Harlan Coben. This was Coben's third stand-alone novel and first since 1991, his previous seven books having all been part of the Myron Bolitar series. Said Coben, "I came up with a great idea that simply would not work for Myron."

The book was Coben's first novel to appear on The New York Times Best Seller list. It was also adapted into a French film with the same title in 2006 (Ne le dis à personne).
