A man presumed dead is suddenly wanted for murder in this thriller of secrets, lies, and dangerous conspiracies that threaten to cover up the truth. Three years ago, sports agent Myron Bolitar gave a eulogy at the funeral of his client, renowned basketball coach Greg Downing. Myron and Greg had history: initially as deeply personal rivals, and later as unexpected business associates. Myron made peace and moved on – until now, when two federal agents walked into his office, demanding to know where Greg Downing is. According to the agents, Greg is still alive—and has been placed at the scene of a double homicide, making him their main suspect. Shocked, Myron needs answers. Myron and Win, longtime friends and colleagues, set out to find the truth, but the more they discover about Greg, the more dangerous their world becomes. Secrets, lies, and a murderous conspiracy that stretches back into the past churn at the heart of Harlan Coben's blistering new novel.

I love this book so much! This book is such a page turner in all the right ways. I enjoyed the vibe of both the main characters Myron and Win. The suspense, action and drama is absolutely perfect. When you think you know what the twist is gonna be, think again. It was a pleasant surprise to be surprised by the twist. And the twist made sense. You didn’t have to really stretch your mind to believe the twist once it’s revealed. I didn’t realize that this book was part of a series when I first started it. However I did not feel lost or I that I was missing any part of the story. This is my first Harlan Coben book and I picked a great one to start on a high note. I can’t recommend this book enough, especially if you are a thriller reader.
The problem with this book is that Myron and team never get close to solving the mystery. It's like author hit the word count and then just ended it dramatically but then had to mansplain the killers story for us.
