Darkest fear - Harlan Coben

Myron Bolitar now has to face one of the biggest dilemmas of his already over-complicated and strife-driven life when he discovers that he may have a son. And that 'son' is on the verge of dying. Suffering from an extremely rare cancer, the boy must be found a bone marrow donor as soon as is humanly possible. Unfortunately the only possible match has refused to help and is protected by medical anonymity.



Myron sets out to find this man, but swiftly realises that there is far more to this than meets the eye and he has stumbled over a 20 year old secret that many will kill to protect...

Harlan has had a varied career. After graduating from College as a political science major, he worked in the travel industry. He stopped when he realised that he wasn't meant to, well, work. He lives in New Jersey with his paediatrician wife, Anne and three young children. His writing has been honoured with all three major US crime awards - The Edgar, Anthony and Shamus.

'Myron's deadly preppy friend, Win, is on hand to supply his own frightening brand of violence, and the gorgeous Esperanza Diaz, the former wrestler who's now a full partner in MB SportsReps, supplies wisdom as well as glamour. But the heart of the novel is, as always, the fallible but infinitely appealing, accessible figure of Myron Bolitar-a modern Don Quixote complete with knee brace and cell phone, ready to take on the world's problems'
Publishers Weekly

'Coben writes with a fine, pithy, pacy style, and there's plenty of action, both on and off the sports field. Cool.'
Yorkshire Post

'a spellbinding novel that deftly balnces realism with excitement'
