What Is Harlan Coben's Final Twist?
Each episode of Harlan Coben's Final Twist focuses on a different real-life murder case, applying Coben's signature plot twists and psychological insights to ordinary lives that descend into 'dark secrets and deadly lies.' The first episode examines the murder of Billy Payne and his fiancée Billie Jean Hayworth, where police uncover a bizarre cyberbullying conflict with a neighboring family.
