Home by Harlan Coben


"A decade ago, kidnappers grabbed two boys from wealthy families and demanded ransom, then went silent. No trace of the boys ever surfaced. For ten years their families have been left with nothing but painful memories and a quiet desperation for the day that has finally, miraculously arrived: Myron Bolitar and his friend Win believe they have located one of the boys, now a teenager. Where has he been for ten years, and what does he know about the day, more than half a life ago, when he was taken? And most critically: What can he tell Myron and Win about the fate of his missing friend?"

This gripping thriller manages to deal with the cold case of  missing boys with sensitivity. Win is back, with his lethal charm. The witty repertoire between our resident hero, Myron Bolitar and Win, does not disappoint. Mickey, Esperenza and Big Cyndi all make an appearance. With assistance from all quarters, he finally figures out what happened 10 years ago but true to Harlen Coben style, there is a twist in this tale - and it's a whopper!

Excellent read!
