TEHRAN- A Persian translation of American writer Harlan Coben’s “I Will Find You” has recently been published by Amut Publications in Tehran.

The book has been translated into Persian by Mohaddeseh Ahmadi.

In "I Will Find You", David Burroughs is a man consumed by grief and guilt after his three-year-old son, Matthew, is brutally murdered while he was asleep just down the hall. The trauma of the event is compounded by the fact that he is wrongly accused and convicted of the crime, leaving him to serve a life sentence in a maximum-security prison.

Years go by, and David becomes despondent, unable to muster the will to fight for his freedom. However, his world is turned upside down when his wife's sister, Rachel, visits him during prison hours and brings a mysterious photograph that changes everything. The picture shows a bustling amusement park, and in the background, a boy who bears an uncanny resemblance to Matthew.

David's conviction that Matthew is still alive becomes an all-consuming obsession, driving him to plan a daring escape from prison. With his life on the line, David sets out on a perilous journey to clear his name, find his son, and uncover the truth behind the murder.

As David navigates the treacherous landscape, he must evade capture by the FBI and confront the dark secrets that have haunted him for years. Along the way, he uncovers a shocking truth that challenges everything he thought he knew about his son's death and his own innocence.
