Publisher Description

Harlan Coben has risen to the top of bestseller lists worldwide, attracting voracious audiences for his peerless novels of domestic suspense as well as those featuring his fan-favorite sports agent, Myron Bolitar. Now in Live Wire, he offers a knock-your-socks-off novel that will electrify all his fans: Myron’s family takes center stage.

Myron Bolitar has always dreamed about the voluptuous femme fatale walking into his office and asking for help. The woman standing in his doorway has killer curves all right: She’s eight months pregnant, which kind of ruins the fantasy. Former tennis star Suzze T and her rock star husband, Lex, are both clients, and over the years Myron has negotiated his share of contracts for the power pair. But now Lex has disappeared and a very pregnant Suzze is in tears, fearing the online rumors questioning the baby’s paternity have driven away the man she swears is the child’s father.

For Myron, questions of fatherhood couldn’t hit closer to home, as his dad, Al, clings to life; the brother who abandoned them all those years ago is in trouble; and Myron’s teenage nephew needs an authority figure. Myron is soon forced to confront deep secrets in Suzze’s past; his family’s mortality—and before Live Wire is over, his own.

    " I really liked this book, but I like Coben's characters in these books. This is a Myron Bolitar book, with his friend Winn. The story keeps you guessing, and the plot is very intriging. Loved it. One of his better books for sure. "

    " For the first half I thought it's ok Coben is ending Myron and Win's series. I'm ready for it to be over. I mean, Myron just keeps getting himself and others into trouble with nothing but the best of intentions. Over, and over, and over again. But by the end it had me, just like all the other books. Even caught myself thinking maybe I'd check out the Mickey series just to get glimpses of Myron every now and again. I really can't start another series right now. I can't. "

    " If you love Coben's Myron Bolitar character and series, then this "finale" will not disappoint. What a great ending to a wonderful series. I'll miss the whole crew: Myron, Win, Esperanza, Big Cyndi, El-Al, etc. "

    " The suspense was there, but the plot was a convoluted mess. This may be the end of Myron Bolitar. His sports rep firm gets sold and he pretty much parts ways with his "partners". Only time will tell the fate of these great characters. "

    " I have read several of the Myron Bolitar books and enjoyed them all. This one was fast paced, and the ending came as a surprise unlike many other books. I wouldn't read this one first though - if you are considering this book, go back and build some background with the others first. "

    " excellent just like all coben books with a good story and complex plot, full of unecpected twists.however,I had the feeling there was a cliffhanger in the end..that the story might,has or will continue and that not all has been said yet....or what has been said is not the whole truth...it might turn "

    " i realized after about three pages how much i missed the bolitar series. if you've read the previous books and are a Coben fan you'll enjoy this one as well. lots of similar characters including of course myron and win. lots of twists and turns and coben fun. definetely reccomend. enjoy... "

    " Wow! I can't believe how much I disliked this book. One character after another who was a total jerk. A gaggle of Big Cyndie fat jokes. Two stoners who wonder aloud about grains of sand on a beach. A dud of a plot. I've enjoyed several Harlan Coben books but this was just awful. "

    " I quit reading at page 30. I do not like the "super hip" style of lingo. I find some of Coben's books to be interesting; but this one definitely did not do it for me! I doubt that I will read any more of the Myron Bolitar series in the future. "

    " This is true Harlen Coben. All the words, paragraphs and sentences lead to the final ending. Short enough to read in a couple of days. It's always refreshing to see the dark and mysterious Win in his rich-kid role and in his dark-avenger role. Myron is the mediator as usual. "
