_____________________________
On New York's Upper West Side, a recluse is found murdered in his apartment.
Beside him is a stolen Vermeer and a leather suitcase bearing the initials WHL3.
Windsor Horne Lockwood III - or Win as he is known - is called to the scene and immediately recognises both items as his own.
How did both items end up in the dead man's apartment? And is there a connection to the abduction, years earlier, of Win's cousin Patricia?
The crime has long baffled the FBI. But now Win is on the case - and he has three things the FBI has not.
A personal connection to the crime, a large personal fortune, and his own unique brand of justice . . .

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Windsor Horne Lockwood III is one of our favourite parts of Harlan Coben’s Myron Bolitar series. Now, Myron’s über-wealthy and super-shady friend and accomplice has his own crime to solve: figuring out how a family heirloom ended up at an uptown Manhattan apartment where a mysterious recluse was killed. From bribery to flattery to all-out violence, Win is a bad boy who'll go to any length to get what he wants. Coben tosses him into a fast-paced plot involving a brutal unsolved abduction and the disappearance of a group of ‘70s radicals called the Jane Street Six. And with Win’s chatty, caustic first-person narration, we’re pulled right into his head. Myron Bolitar fans will love digging into the Lockwood family’s scandalous past, but even complete newcomers will be intrigued by Win’s brash, eccentric personality.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Early in this disappointing thriller from bestseller Coben (the Myron Bolitar series), FBI agents ask sports agent Myron's wealthy blueblood sidekick, Windsor "Win" Horne Lockwood III, to accompany them to the Beresford, "one of the most prestigious buildings in Manhattan," where an unidentified older man has been found in one of the Beresford's tower rooms, dead of either strangulation or a slit throat. Win tells the agents he doesn't know the victim, but the cluttered room includes a Vermeer that was stolen from the Lockwood family 20 years earlier and a suitcase with Win's initials. The mystery deepens when the body is identified as the leader of a radical left group responsible for the accidental deaths of seven people. A connection to Win's cousin Patricia Lockwood's traumatic abduction, abuse, and captivity as a teen raises more questions, but the melodramatic plot developments that follow don't live up to the tantalizing setup. Readers will struggle to empathize with Coben's hedonistic lead, who can't help viewing even his own aunt as a sexual object. Hopefully, Win will return to a supporting role in any future outings.
