Coben - Promise Me - 07/04/07 - 09/04/07

This is the latest in the Myron Bolitar series of books by Harlen Coben. Whilst the books are well written with exciting and well-paced stories, the 'heroes' are a strange bunch indeed. Bolitar is an ex-basketball player and his sidekick a super-rich martial arts expert. His sports agency company (which has expanded in this book) is staffed by two ex-wrestling women, one of which weighs in at 300+ lbs. You must get over this though becuase the books are worth it.

In this one, the story is based on Bolitar's own idiocy and focuses on the search for the daughter of a couple with whom he has been friends for some time. As with all these non-cop crime books, the success of the non-expert in the world of the expert is somewhat hard to swallow, but at least it is well explained in this book. The action is non-stop, and the book hard to put down, expecially as it nears its climax. Read this, and the others in this series.
