Author Harlan Coben stands by the fireplace in the living room of his Victorian house in Ridgewood, N.J., on Aug. 3, 2006. Coben, 44, has made a career of exploring a well-manicured terrain, plumbing the depths of middle-class angst in his 13 books set in and around the Jersey suburbs where he lives.
