I am a huge fan of the writing of Harlan Coben, and I especially enjoy his series that features former basketball star turned agent Myron Bolitar. As is the case with most of the Bolitar series of books, "Live Wire" features many of the usual suspects I have come to appreciate - Big Cindy, Esperanza a.k.a. Pocahontas, Win - and several interesting new ones.
The action in this book centers of Myron being asked to locate Lex, husband of former tennis star Suzze T. She is pregnant, and anonymous social media has cast doubt on the paternity of the child she is carrying. In the course of tracking down Lex, Myron stumbles on the trail of his missing brother and sister-in-law, and his teenage nephew Mickey. The arc of the narrative features Myron and Win wading into and out of trouble in NYC nightclubs, a private island retreat off the coast of Cape Cod, and various familiar spots in New Jersey, including the Bolitar family home.
The resulting book is a delightful page turner thriller, as I have come to expect from one of my favorite contemporary authors.
Enjoy!
