Long Lost by Harlan Coben

In Long Lost, Harlan Coben brings back former star basketball player Myron Bolitar and takes readers on a wild international ride of adventure, suspense and romance. Myron receives an unexpected call from ex-lover Terese imploring him to come to Paris. Myron's current relationship with Ali suddenly hits the skids, and after an unfortunate altercation lands his opponent in the hospital, he decides a trip out of the country might be a wise move.

On his arrival in Paris, he is mysteriously interrogated by high-ranking French officials. Terese wants him to find her missing ex-husband. Unfortunately, the ex turns up dead, and very bad people seem to want Myron the same way.

Adding to the confusion, Myron begins to suspect that Terese's deceased daughter might be alive and well.

Matters get messier, but luckily Myron's pal and partner Win is around to help him out of some ugly situations.

Evil lurks everywhere and the conclusion to this quick paced tale will leave you reeling.

I personally wait impatiently for each of Coben's new works. This one didn't disappoint. Once started, Long Lost, is hard to put down. Characters Myron and Win are a little rough around the edges, but lovable. If you are making your summer reading list, this will make a great addition. Coben books do contain sexual content, violence and some occasional profanity. On a scale of 1 to 10, I rate it a 7.
