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.

“Rich and compelling.”
— Associated Press“Coben spares his reader no emotional extreme…A fast-moving action tale.”
— Pittsburgh Post-Gazette“Live Wire is a stunning achievement in all respects—everything a thriller, and a novel, is supposed to be.”
— Providence Journal“Delivers a deceptively complex plot and illustrates why Myron is such an intriguing character…Coben…deftly shows that he has more stories to tell about his long-running character.”
— South Florida Sun-Sentinel“One of Coben’s most exciting and multidimensional tales yet…Gripping.”
— Columbus Dispatch“Coben’s tenth Myron Bolitar novel is a perfect 10: providing readers with new information about the past of the former athlete turned agent and owner of MB Reps; a satisfyingly complex mystery…This explosively fast thriller will leave fans clamoring for more.”
— Publishers Weekly (starred review)" His books read so fast that sometimes I feel cheated out that they don't last longer. "
— Robert, 2/18/2014" i'm wondering is this the last myron bolitar book? "
— Melissa, 2/6/2014" 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. "
— Diane, 2/5/2014" 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. "
— Abby, 1/29/2014" anything by Coben is worth the read "
— Joann, 1/29/2014" Fast-paced mystery. Colorful characters. Explosive writing. "
— Sharon, 1/17/2014" 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. "
— Ray, 1/12/2014" Another great Coben book "
— Darlene, 12/20/2013" 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. "
— Joe, 12/16/2013" 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. "
