When did I finish?: Feb 13, 2011
When was the book published: 2009
Main Characters: Myron Bolitar, his friend Win, long lost girllove Terese Cousins, a charming French detective/intelligence guy
What happens? Myron gets a call from Terese, 8 years lost, calling him to Paris. She needs help, but doesn't say why. His current lady friend dumps him and off he goes. Terese's ex-husband has reached out to her - he's a famous investigative reporter who has stumbled onto some kind of terrorist thing, and he is dead, and she needs help. And she had a kid who got killed in an auto accident that was her fault, and...
How long was this? maybe 300 pages
Did I like this? Hey-it's Harlan Coben, so you better believe it is a page turner. Not his best work, and Myron's friend Win is a little hard to take. But overall, yeah, it's good stuff with plenty of action. The opening fight over the mean coach who picks on Myron's girlfriend's kid is - well, he could have done better.
Overall grade: B+
