Home is a 2016 mystery/thriller novel by American writer, Harlan Coben. It is the eleventh novel in his series featuring crime solver and sports agent Myron Bolitar. The story in Home takes place approximately one year after the events of Live Wire (2011), during which time the Win character has been in hiding.

There is an element of brutality in some parts, but elsewhere there are warm and fuzzy moments. Neither is used in the extreme."
