This is the second Myron Bolitar book I've read. I enjoyed it but it was a little heavy on the sports (golf in this one). A professional golf family (both mother and father are pros) and the sixteen year old son is also an excellent golfer. The son gets kidnapped at the start of the US Open and Myron is hired to find him. Of course, Myron gets in over his head and all hell breaks loose.

Harlan Coben has a great use of cliches which are laugh out loud funny. Myron is comically sarcastic and Win has serious pyschopatic undertones. There are several twists and surprises. A great mystery that you think you have figured out and then whammo another twist. Keeps you guessing right up to the last page.

They even mention my old high school towards the end. How cool is that?
