Edgar Award-winner Harlan Coben brings us his most astonishing—and deeply personal—novel yet. And it all begins when Myron Bolitar’s ex tells him he’s a father . . . of a dying thirteen-year-old boy. Myron never saw it coming. A surprise visit from an ex-girlfriend is unsettling enough. But Emily Downing’s news brings him to his knees. Her son Jeremy is dying and needs a bone-marrow … bone-marrow transplant—from a donor who has vanished without a trace. Then comes the real shocker: The boy is Myron’s son, conceived the night before her wedding to another man.
Staggered by the news, Myron plunges into a search for the missing donor. But finding him means cracking open a dark mystery that involves a broken family, a brutal kidnapping spree, and the FBI. Somewhere in the sordid mess is the donor who disappeared. And as doubts emerge about Jeremy’s true paternity, a child vanishes, igniting a chain reaction of heartbreaking truth and chilling revelation.

I always like Coben. And he brought it home in the end.
Great read.
All of the books in this series are very good. I like that they are all different.
Coben never fails to deliver!
I would say this is a very good book, things that could happen in any ones life. I love Harlan Coben. I have read many of his books and I enjoyed every one of them! Keep them coming!!
Really enjoyed
Harlan Coben is one of my favorite authors! I have read more than a dozen and have NEVER been disappointed. His writing is witty, engaging, unpredictable, with outstanding characters that shine without shadowing each other, with humorous comments without going to the vulgarity that many books have these days. Every book that I have read has had a very different and interesting plot, no one is the same and you never suspect what is coming next. Wonderful reads every single time!
As always, Harlan Coban is excellent!
A Favorite Author of mine.
Great read. Kept me up all night.
Myron Bolivar is a unique character surrounded by other distinctive characters and, not to be redundant, a distinctive plot. It deals out plenty of quips between characters to keep you entertained, changes in scenery to keep the story moving, and plenty of twists and turns in the plot to keep your mind activated. Mr. Coben gives us a rare disease to contend with, as well as a life-altering event in the hero’s life to endear Myron to the reader.
This was the last of the Myron Bolitar character books that I hadn’t read. I have read most of this authors books. He never disappoints! You can easily identify with his characters! Fun, fast and entertaining!
A fabulous read. This author is amazing. Great information, suspense and ending.
