And it's another winner for Harlan Coben and his number one man--Myron Bolitar. In this one, Myron overhears two teenagers talking about their friends driving them home while very drunk. He makes them promise that if either of them are caught without a safe ride home--or wherever they need to go--they will call him. No questions asked. Any time of day. 24/7. He gives them each his business card.

Then one of the two girls takes him up on his promise. It's 2 am. He's slightly hung over himself. But, he's the 18 year old's godfather. He tries to find out what's going on. But, he's reminded that he promised not to ask any questions. So, he drops her off where she asks him to, then goes home to sleep it off, and the next day it's obvious to all that she's missing. And, he was the last one to see her.

A great story that anyone with kids can readily relate to. Hard to put down. A joy to read about Win and Esmeralda and Big Cindy again. If you decide to read the book, here's my Promise to you: It'll be worth your while!
