The Final Detail: A Myron Bolitar Novel

The Final Detail: A Myron Bolitar Novel

by HarlanCoben (Author)

Synopsis

Myron returns from a sabbatical (recovering from the events of ONE FALSE MOVE) to investigate the murder of a client - a troubled New York Yankees baseball player called Clu Haid. Clu was apparently shot by Esperanza Diaz, who just happens to be Myron's best friend and partner in the sport's agency. Esperanza is hiding something, but Myron isn't sure if it has to do with her job, or with her private life. His search for the truth takes him back to a shabby incident from his own past, and to times he would rather forget. THE FINAL DETAIL is classic Harlan Coben - powerful, moving and ultimately shocking. It tells of what a friend can sacrifice and how hard it is to save those you love - particularly from themselves...

Book Overview: This is our FINAL backlist Coben, and is the sequel to ONE FALSE MOVE As with DARKEST FEAR, you can see that Coben was approaching his breakthrough with this novel. It's bigger, darker and more passionate than the earlier Bolitar novels and Coben's ability to drops in poignant moments of humanity keeps us - and Myron - firmly grounded in reality. TELL NO ONE has now sold over 250,000 in paperback with six weeks in the top ten. JUST ONE LOOK went to NUMBER ONE in the Sunday Times Bestseller chart. JUST ONE LOOK was also successful on a global scale. Harlan has swiftly established himself as one of the few crime authors who appeals to both men and women; and to genre-fans and mainstream readers equally. In that way he really is the new Grisham. TELL NO ONE is being made into a Hollywood movie with Michael Apted directing, and will establish Harlan even further as an international star. 'Harlan Coben, he's smart, he's funny and he has something to say' Michael Connelly

Media Reviews
Coben produces his usual mix of hard-boiled crime and wise-guy humour... with Bolitar, it's the mayhem that keeps the pages turning. -- Andrea Henry DAILY MIRROR, 17 December Just an everyday tale of normal law-abiding, cross-dressing psychotic New Yorkers. THE GUARDIAN 'Digested Read', 3 January 05 An outstanding success. This is a grand, rollicking read full of refreshing, new-style writing, snappy one-liners and clever repartee. In terms of plot, Coben cannot be faulted. You might fail to spot whodunit and, when all is revealed, feel genuine surprise and deight. If you read only one American novel this year, make sure that it is this one. SUNDAY EXPRESS, 20 Feb Coben handles a large cast with skill. Entertaining -- Philip Nolan IRELAND ON SUNDAY, 23 Jan Coben, as ever, takes us on a gritty, pungent journey into some of the less savoury byways of human behaviour; a journey shot through with sardonic humour and trenchant observation. -- Barry Forshaw THE INDEPENDENT, 14 Feb Another hit. -- Alex Gordon PETERBOROUGH EVENING TELEGRAPH, 15 Jan
