Home by Harlan Coben

As I’ve said before when speaking of Fool Me Once, Harlan Coben is one of the few authors who doesn’t always write about a series character. But his new novel, Home, reprises Myron Bolitar, who along with his erstwhile friend, Win, discovers one of two boys who were kidnapped 10 years ago with no trace until now.

Where has the boy been for ten years, and what does he know about the day, more than half a life ago, when he was taken … and what ever happened to his friend who disappeared with him?

This is Coben’s 11th Bolitar book, who is a “hotheaded, tenderhearted sports agent”. It’s a great story you don’t want to miss with a strange amalgam of characters starting with Fat Gandhi, who runs every kind of illegal scam from a misappropriated but impregnable arcade in the seedier parts of London.
