Harlan Coben
(Dutton; $25.95)
Mryon Bolitar -- a character from earlier Coben -- returns, front and center, to lead us through Coben's eighth thriller. Bolitar, former Celtics basketball star, is living a quiet life in his parents house in New Jersey dividing his time between work (running his talent agency with some sleuthing on the side) and doting on his aging parents who now live in Florida. Historically he has an uncanny knack for finding situations that allow him to be the hero to a sad sack story and quite by accident he finds himself back in the same position.
At a party at his house, Bolitar accidentally hears the teenage daughters of his ex-high school sweetheart and his current heart throb talking about drinking and risky behavior. Before he realizes what he's said, he's told the girls that they must promise him that if they are ever in a bad situation that they will call him and he will "no questions ask" help them. Little did he expect that in a few short hours, one of them would take him up on his promise and utterly change his world.
Where did Aimee go after she called Myron for help? Who's house was it that he dropped her at? And what is the connection between Aimee and another missing teen? Is Myron the hero ... or the culprit?
Irresistable Coben.
