Rhys Baldwin and Patrick Moore disappear during a playdate at Rhys's house. Rhys happens to be a cousin of Win - Windsor Horne Lockwood III - who is Myron's partner.

The story begins in Win's voice as he has traveled to London because he received an email saying one of the missing boys has been spotted. He sees the boy hanging out with male prostitutes under a bridge but doesn't approach because it is Patrick and not Rhys. He decides to keep watch in the hopes that Rhys will show up too. Before too much time Patrick is accosted by bully boys and Win is forced to intervene. He winds up killing the bully boys and Patrick runs away. This is when Win phones Myron for some help.

Win has been missing for more than a year. His phone call finds Myron with his fiancee. But Myron drops everything to head to London to back up his friend. Together they extract Patrick from the clutches of a crime lord with ties to prostitution, hacking, and other stuff. But Patrick is swept up by his parents before Myron and Win can find out about Rhys.

This leads them to begin investigating the crime again from the beginning and leads them to lots of questions about what happened. Aiding in the investigation are a variety of characters from earlier books in the series including Myron's nephew Mickey and his friend Ema.

Myron and Win follow a twisted and twisting path to reach a conclusion that really surprised me. I have only read the first Myron Bolitar mystery and didn't know Win who turns out to be one scary dude with a unique sense of justice. I have read the YA books starring Mickey, Spoon, and Ema and was glad to see them again.

This was a book I found impossible to put down. I loved the relationship between Myron and Win and their clever repartee. I also really enjoyed Myron's relationship with both Micky and with his aging parents. We say a man who isn't afraid to love which contrasts greatly with Win who doesn't really care for very many people but will fight to the death for those he does care about.

This was a great mystery and makes me want to go back and read all the Myron Bolitar mysteries that I haven't yet read. ...more

He's done it again! We've waited a long time for a new Myron Bolitar book but I have to say the wait was well worth it. This book was Myron Bolitar and Harlan Coben at their best. The famous Myron and Win humour was evident as usual but toned down in one or two places, in line with the theme of points of the book. What I particularly liked was how certain chapters of the book were written from Win's perspective - a nice touch. Harlan Coben once again showed he is master of the mystery genre and ...more

I would have to say that this is definitely my favorite Myron Bolitar book. I loved how it switched from Win's voice to Myron's voice throughout. The ending was very fast-paced and quite a surprise for me. Now that I have finished all the books, I am looking forward to reading the whole series again. There is a lot of wit and humor in Coben's books and I think another reading is wholly justified in order to make sure not to miss any important innuendos. I would highly recommend this series if yo ...more

It is always great to see Myron and Win and their efforts to help others plus catch up on their own lives. Win has apparently been gone a year but since that's the time since the previous book it doesn't feel like it to me. He asks for help for his cousin.

This book was very enjoyable but also some details confused me terribly. Terese's "children" discovered in Long Lost and not mentioned since then. Brad.

I'm excited to read Win now as I'm caught up on Myron.
