Following on from SHELTER comes the second novel in the fantastic, action-packed Mickey Bolitar series from the master of the hook-and-twist.
When tragedy strikes close to home, teenager Mickey Bolitar and his loyal new friends - sharp-witted Ema and the ever-charming Spoon - find themselves at the centre of a murder investigation involving their friend Rachel. Now, not only does Mickey have to continue his quest to uncover the truth about the mysterious death of his father, he also needs to figure out what happened to Rachel - no matter what it takes.
Mickey has always been ready to sacrifice everything to help the people he loves. But how can he protect them when he's not even sure who - or what - he's protecting them from?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Action packed would be an understated description for Coben's novel the second spinoff of his bestselling Myron Bolitar series featuring 14-year-old Mickey Bolitar. Picking up where the last book left off, Mickey is stunned by the news, supplied by the town's mysterious and scary old crone, that his father, whom he saw die in a car crash, is still alive. Before Mickey can begin to digest this information, his girlfriend is shot in the head, he's interrogated by the police, threatened, trapped in a burning building, and terrorized by two hit men all while making time to try out for his high school's basketball team. Narrator Nick Podehl turns in an inspired performance, lending a youthful voice to Mickey that captures all his teen angst, confusion, and impatience. Podehl also effectively renders the book's cast of characters, from the snarling, bullying police chief to the screechy little nerd named Spoon. Ages 12 up. A Putnam hardcover.
Customer Reviews
Fantastic read
I couldn't put it down and when I had got to the last page I had to double check it was the last page. I can't wait foe the next in the series!
Seconds Away
I read Seconds Away in one day, having just finished Shelter in only two days. For me that says it all! The two books are actually one & you really should read both & in order. This is Coben at his best & you're left wondering: what's next for Mickey Bolitar...?
Top class
A real page turner. Helps if you've read the first in the series
