From Publishers Weekly
Last seen in bestseller Coben's Darkest Fear (2000), Myron Bolitar, former basketball star (Boston Celtics) turned sports and entertainment agent and occasional knight in shining armor, is back in fighting form in his action-packed eighth thriller. For the past six years Myron has been leading a quiet life, much of it at his parents' old house in Livingston, N.J. A new girlfriend, Ali Wilder, a 9/11 widow, is helping to bring him out of his shell. Concerned that Ali's teenage daughter, Erin, and Erin's friend, Aimee Biel, might fall in with the wrong crowd, Myron gives them his contact information in case either of them feels she needs help. Aimee later calls him in the middle of the night for a lift to a friend's house, on condition that her request remain a secret. When Aimee turns up missing in circumstances mirroring those surrounding another vanished girl, Bolitar himself becomes a suspect in her disappearance and must use his wits and martial arts skills to uncover the truth. Coben fans will find much to enjoy in this well-crafted suspense novel, which has a startling final twist. (Apr. 25)

J’ai trouvé ce livre à l’hôtel lors de mes dernières vacances aux Canaries. Il était dans une pile de livres déposée par un vacancier qui voulait certainement voyager léger au retour.
Le suspense fonctionne plutôt bien et on se laisse vite prendre par l’intrigue. Pour moi le final est un peu décevant ; j’avais identifié « le méchant » depuis un petit moment.
En prime, on a le droit au premier chapitre d’un autre thriller de Harlan Coben : « The Woods ». Et le piège risque de bien fonctionner puisque ça m’a vraiment donné envie de le lire !

On its way to Charleston (USA).
Received here in Charleston, SC USA, all the way from Brittany! Thank you so much!
Picked up at our meetup. Have never read Harlan Coben, but will give a try!
I took this with me to read on vacation and really enjoyed it. Have not read any Coben before, but liked his characters, and his plot twists-- the one at the very end was good. I had wondered about a certain character's motivation early in the book, but forgot about it as I was swept into the novel.
HAve offered this to javaczuk, and if he does not wish to read it, I'll pass it on at the November meetup.
How cool that this came from France! It is indeed, well traveled.
