Publisher: Dutton Adult Publication: Country USA If the stories in the newspapers of the woes of the economy are driving you to despair, then its time you picked up Long Lost. This new Myron Bolitar novel by Coben will take you from that mundane reality and put you on a high that will rival your most intensive binge on your current vice. This new Bolitar novel comes after a 3 year hiatus, the ninth in the series and for the first time our Sports Agent crossed with Private Detective is taking his exploits overseas, this time not working for his clients but on his own past. A number of times after picking myself up from the floor and recovering from sore sides from laughing and the weird looks from the people in the Coffee shop my breath was taken away with the twists in the plot and the body blows delivered with the finesse of skilled martial artist. This is another book of mastery from an expert thriller writer. Our journey with Myron starts with a simple goodbye to a current love and a re-cast of a previous relationship with the exquisite Terese Collins, an ex television presenter with a remarkable past. Myron finally learns about that past and how it is going to affect his future – maybe he should not have followed that advice from Win his best friend and strongest supporter and stayed at home rather than heading on the first flight to France. Myron has always been a sucker for the tender heart. Coben makes us question who it is we really need to fear, the terrorists or those that are trying to stop terrorism, I’m sure Bolitar also questions that every time he remembers the torture that he may have gone through! I really enjoy the way Coben uses today’s technology, Google Earth and GPS rather than the futuristic sometime nonsensical James Bond gadgetry – although I must say I do love Aston Martins. I highly recommend this book and I’m sure it will leave you panting for the next instalment of action, and running back to the store to get the previous books in Bolitar’s life if you have not yet read them.
