The long wait for another Myron Bolitar adventure was more than worth it, as #1 New York Times bestselling author Harlan Coben brings back his fan-favorite hero for his most suspenseful outing yet with Think Twice, a brilliantly spun mystery that keeps readers off balance before delivering the kind of shocking, knockout twist Coben is known for.

What starts as a normal day for Myron Bolitar quickly takes a turn when two FBI agents enter the Lock-Horne building, ride up to the top floor, and begin questioning Myron and Win about the whereabouts of Greg Downing. Myron, a Harvard-trained attorney turned sports agent, used to represent Downing, a well-respected NBA coach. Before that, the two had a lengthy rivalry, going all the way back to junior high. Now, Downing is wanted in connection to the murder of a woman named Cecelia Callister, and the FBI agents are convinced that Myron and Win know where he is. There’s just one problem . . .

Greg Downing died three years ago. Myron Bolitar even spoke at his funeral.

With the FBI presenting enough evidence to suggest that Downing may have actually faked his own death and could still be alive, and now on the run, Myron pays a visit to his “destructive ex,” Emily. Myron’s past rivalry with Downing on the basketball court is only the beginning of a tangled web of complicated history between the two men, a history that very much includes Emily, too, who was twice married to Greg. Back in their college days, Emily even broke up with Myron to be with Greg, but in a twist of fate, Myron had a one-night-stand with Emily just before she married Greg, which resulted in the birth of Jeremy, Myron’s biological son who was raised by Greg—the man Jeremey considered to be his “real” dad.

As it turns out, though, Greg Downing had a complicated history outside of his entanglement with Myron and Emily. After coaching his final game in the NBA, Downing had told those closest to him that he was going to travel and “find himself” before disappearing for several years. The next time anyone heard from him, he was dead. Or so they all thought. Now, Myron isn’t so sure. Some quick poking around turns up a link between Downing and a twenty-something-year-old fitness influencer named Bo Storm, who, after posting daily on social media for years, suddenly dropped off the face of the earth right around the same time Downing went to do his soul-searching. Stranger yet is the fact that Storm’s ex-boyfriend also went missing around that same time, adding yet another mystery for Myron and Win to investigate. But as the two dig for answers, they begin to unearth one shocking discovery after another, and soon, they find themselves surrounded by danger and unsure what to believe.

Harlan Coben delivers yet again with Think Twice, a gripping, intricately plotted masterpiece that will leave readers blazing through the pages, desperate to unravel the mysteries lurking within. If you’re a fan of heart-stopping thrillers with compelling characters and unexpected twists, Coben’s latest offering is a must-read.
