Book Description
The search for a missing boy gives Myron Bolitar far more than he bargained for... a gripping thriller from the SUNDAY TIMES bestselling author of CAUGHT and PLAY DEAD.
Product Description
The boy was born and raised on the Main Line. But he vanished on Philadelphia's mean streets - last seen in a down-town cheater's hotel. For sports agent Myron Bolitar, his client, superstar Linda Coldren, comes first, and that means unravelling the mystery of her son's kidnapping. But when Myron goes after the missing boy, he crashes through a crowd of low-lifes, blue bloods and liars on both sides of the social divide. And when family skeletons start coming out of the closet, Myron is about to find out how deadly life can get...

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Please order all of Harlan Coben's Myron Bolitar novels at once. Not only will you read about the world's most honorable sports agent Myron Bolitar but you get a murder mystery to follow as well as some memorable characters to cheer for. The mysteries are excellently written, hilarious and fast-paced. Once I started reading the book, it is hard to put it down, so I didn't, I finished it the day I received, as I did with the previous Bolitar novels. What draws me to this series is Myron's interactions with the people closest to him - his girlfriend, his parents, his assistant/partner(?) Esparanza and last but not least Win Lockwood - psycho-yuppie. I can only read books in the mystery genre and this is one of the best series ever. To all you potential Cobenatics - order all Bolitar novels at once! Please note that you can reserve the new novel - The Final Detail before its release in June. Hurry - catch up with Myron, Win (my favorite) and crew before the June deadline.

Format:Paperback
This is definitely not one of Coben's greatest work. Far better books include Drop Shot and Fade Away. The most surprising aspect of the book is the ommision of Windsor Horne-Lockwood III from the majority of the book. This made Myron Bolitar's chararacter seem weak, and there is no doubt in my mind that a book without Win as a lead character is not as good as a book where Win features more prominently. Having said that, it was an enjoyable read, it just did not achieve the high standard that Harlan Coben has set in the past.

Format:Paperback
Another very well constructed mystery by Harlan Coben - plenty of red herrings and enough suspects to keep the reader guessing right to the end. There were much smaller appearances by Esperanza Diaz and Windsor Lockwood 111, with Jessica Culver only managing a telephone slot. Possibly their relative absences made it one of Coben's less compulsive stories, but very good nonetheless. Highly recommended.

This book has you gripped until the end. You guess and you guess and you guess some more and Coben completely gets you in the final pages. Very much enjoyed this book.

Well up to Standard
Harlan Coben continues to prove that he is one of the best thriller writers around at the moment. A page turner is a much used phrase but in this case it is really appropriate. Read more
