Harlan Coben ist ein superber Schriftsteller und Krimiautor. Seine Figuren sind authentisch, seine Stories haben viele spannende, überraschende Wendungen, sind aber in der Auflösung immer logisch und nachvollziehbar. Die Helden haben viel Charakter, in diesem Fall sind der Sportagent Myron Bolitar, und sein exzentrischer Milliardärsfreund, beide frühere FBI Mitarbeiter, einem längst vergangenen, ungelösten, sehr mysteriösen Entführungsfall auf der Spur. Politische Verwicklungen rund um ein Attentat linksgerichteter Sympathisanten vor Jahrzehnten, dunkle Gestalten und Verwicklungen, Geheimnisse reicher Familien, überraschende Entwicklungen und vielfältiges, bestens gezeichnetes Ensemble. Coben schreibt mit viel schwarzem Humor, sein Stil ist aber trotzdem auf sehr hohem Level, und er schafft es, die Leser nicht nur zu unterhalten, sondern auch politisch-historisches, technisches, ökonomisches Wissen zu vermitteln. Unbedingt empfehlenswert, und zwar alles von ihm.

Patricia escaped, but so did her captors, and the items stolen from her family were never recovered. Until now. On New York's Upper West Side, a recluse is found murdered in his penthouse apartment, alongside two objects of note: a stolen Vermeer painting and a leather suitcase bearing the initials WHL3. For the first time in years, the authorities have a lead not only on Patricia's kidnapping but also on another FBI cold case - with the suitcase and painting both pointing them towards one man. Windsor Horne Lockwood III - or Win as his few friends call him - doesn't know how his suitcase and his family's stolen painting ended up in this dead man's apartment. But he's interested - especially when the FBI tell him that the man who kidnapped his cousin was also behind an act of domestic terrorism, and that he may still be at large. The two cases have baffled the FBI for decades. But Win has three things the FBI does not:: a personal connection to the case, a large fortune, and his own unique brand of justice ...
