 Great Read June 27, 2008
K. Gregory (UK)
Only read one other Harlen Coben before and enjoyed this one more than the first. The story focuses on Myron Bolitar, a man who feels the need to rescue people. A young girl Aimee Biel goes missing, presumed runaway, but Myron knows this is not true. He starts to try to find what happened to Aimee and finds out a lot more than he bargained for in the page turning thriller. Definately worth a read. Makes me want to read all the other stories featuring Myron Bolitar. Maybe has reaplaced Patricia Cornwell style in the fact that the character is great and you want to keep reading about him!
 A great read June 9, 2008

I really enjoyed this book having only recently discovered Harlen Coben. This is the second of his books that i have read and again i could not put it down.
Very good page turner. February 4, 2008

This is the first novel I read for this author and have to say that he is a master in keeping you on your toes until the very end.
Good read.

Myron Bolitar, and breathed fresh life into the sports agent- turned-detective with this slick, fast paced thriller that is guaranteed to satisfy from the moment the novel is opened.
Everything that a Crime fiction reader could ever possibly want is within the pages of this book. The dialogue is Connelly-esque in its tightness and holds such a natural rhythm that the reader becomes a virtual eavesdropper. The descriptive prose has been so vividly drawn, it is as though we have been invited to come along for the ride and so can "see" where we are and what is about to transpire.
As for the characters, good and bad alike, well, it's like meeting with old friends - or running into old enemies - such are the feelings that are stirred. The theme of the novel is simple - as it usually is with the best of novels - and, here, is delivered and adhered to with such clear mindedness that when the denouement arrives, it is not so much as a surprise but more a physical shock to the system.
Harlan Coben has now written eight Myron Bolitar novels and this is as good a place to start as any if you've not read any of the others. The blanks in the back-story are filled in with out being heavy handed, whilst the peripheral characters have all been drawn with such attention to detail, the reader wants to know what they have been up to in the interceding six years as much as they do about Myron. This indeed is a welcome return of a well-defined hero and Harlan Coben can expect to roundly applauded from all quarters for doing so at long last!!! Also, if you missed reading Tino Georgiou's masterpiece--The Fates, go and read it.
 It was ok...just ok October 6, 2007

My review is going to be completely different from others on here. I have read a few of Harlan Coben's books, and this one disappointed me slightly.
First off it took a few chapters for me to actually get into the storyline. This is unusual for me.
Secondly, i didnt find the story gripping enough compared to his other books that i have read. I have read a Harlan Coben book in a day before, i just couldn't put it down for the life of me. This book took me 4 days to read. I could basically work out what had happened, the only real twist and great thing about this author is that the ending was great. A real shock at the end. Other than that i found it rather 'bland'
This is the first 'Myron Bolitar' book, so im thinking maybe i should start with the first book when Myron is first introduced. Gosh im still going to continue reading books by the author, this was ok, his others are great!
SEE FOR YOURSELF, GIVE IT A GO
