TELL NO ONE Eight years ago, David Beck was knocked unconscious and left for dead, and his wife Elizabeth was kidnapped and murdered. Every day for the next eight years Dr Beck re-lived the horror of what happened. Then, one afternoon, he receives an anonymous e-mail telling him to log on to a certain web-site at a certain time. The screen opens onto a web cam and it is Elizabeth's image he sees. Is it just a heartless practical joke? Or could Elizabeth be alive? BACK SPIN The search for a missing boy gives Myron Bolitar far more than he bargained for. When Myron investigates, he crashes through a crowd of low-lifes, blue-bloods and liars on both sides of the social divide. And when family skeletons start coming out of the closet, Myron is about to find out just how deadly life can get... Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

David Beck and his wife Elizabeth were together since they were kids and very much in love. Eight years ago, Elizabeth was kidnapped and found murdered, and David never got over losing her. So why is David suddenly getting mysterious emails as if they are from Elizabeth?
Another really good book by Coben with plenty of twists and turns and a surprise right at the end. This one didn't have that great opening sentence like a lot of his books do, and took a little longer to get going for me, but overall, I really liked it.
Review for Back Spin (Nov. 2015):
3.5 stars
Myron Bolitar is a sports agent and there is a big golf tournament in town. The wife of one of the front-runners calls Myron to get his help (he is also a....... PI, of some sort?) when her son is kidnapped.
I think this is the 4th book in the Myron Bolitar series. I was told that they don't need to be read in order, but I think at least reading the first book might have been a good idea. The story in this one was good, but I never did quite figure out Myron's background – why he does this PI-type thing he does, how his friend Win is involved, their background, etc. I do have another Bolitar book (the 8th one, I think), but I will definitely make a point of reading the first one first.
So, except for losing some interest with Myron's interactions with his friends, as I wasn't quite “getting” how they all relate, the story itself was good. Not as good as Coben's stand-alone books, though. I'd either start with a stand-alone (they are amazing!) for anyone who hasn't read Coben yet, or at least the first book in the Bolitar series. This one was a quick read. (
