I’m unsure whether I’ve read any Myron Bolitor before (I think I might have done but before I kept records; I’ve definitely read a Win book or two), but that didn’t stop me from launching headfirst into this twisty turny crime thriller.
It begins when the FBI turn up at Myron’s offices, looking for a client of his who’s wanted for a recent murder. The only problem is, the guy’s been dead for years. Supposed to be, at least… Myron can’t resist digging deeper, and as a result opens about fifty cans of worms spanning multiple states and victims, and plenty of people he knows and cares about.
It’s quite a complex plot, with a lot of jigsaw pieces that slide back and forth (almost into place, then out again, only to return later) and Coben uses a fair bit of a repetition to keep readers on track (eg about who knows who and why), which some could find irritating but was useful for me.
An entertaining read that I whizzed through in a matter of hours.
