Many thanks to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest thriller by Harlan Coben - 4.5 stars rounded up for a fabulous start to a new series!
The FBI has two cold cases to solve - in the 70s, a group of radicals who were involved in a fire bombing that ended up killing multiple people. There was also an art heist that ended in a murder and kidnapping of a young girl. These two cases come together and point towards Win - the paintings were stolen from his family and his suitcase was found at a murder scene. Win's FBI friend and mentor, PT, pull him into investigating these crimes.
I realize it is a personal flaw that I haven't read all of Coben's books - Win is a recurring character from the Myron Bolitar series. But that it no way took away from the enjoyment of this book. I loved Win's character - this book is written in the first person like he is talking to you and explaining himself and his actions to you. While you won't agree with lots that he does, he owns his personality - his rich, white privilege, his sense of right and wrong. I can't wait to read more in this series!
