____________________________
From the #1 bestselling author and creator of the hit Netflix series The Stranger comes a riveting new thriller, starring the new hero Windsor Horne Lockwood III - or Win, as he is known to his (few) friends ...
____________________________
Over twenty years ago, heiress Patricia Lockwood was abducted during a robbery of her family's estate, then locked inside an isolated cabin for months. Patricia escaped, but so did her captors, and the items stolen from her family were never recovered.

Until now.

On New York's Upper West Side, a recluse is found murdered in his penthouse apartment, alongside two objects of note: a stolen Vermeer painting and a leather suitcase bearing the initials WHL3. For the first time in years, the authorities have a lead not only on Patricia's kidnapping but also on another FBI cold case - with the suitcase and painting both pointing them towards one man.

Windsor Horne Lockwood III - or Win as his few friends call him - doesn't know how his suitcase and his family's stolen painting ended up in this dead man's apartment. But he's interested - especially when the FBI tell him that the man who kidnapped his cousin was also behind an act of domestic terrorism, and that he may still be at large.

The two cases have baffled the FBI for decades. But Win has three things the FBI does not:: a personal connection to the case, a large fortune, and his own unique brand of justice ...

I don’t know if it’s me but this book did not live up to my expectations i found myself drifting off while listening so I didn’t really enjoy

Great to see an old character bought back. Anybody who is a fan of the Myron series will already know Win so will have an understanding of him, but this book can also be a stand alone for a newbie. Good thriller

Fabulous!

Better than I thought based on previous reviews k has read. Narrators voice is perfect for Win.

I detested the main character. Having said that I don’t know if I would have felt the same way if I read the book. Win was basically American Psycho’s Patrick Bateman spliced with Batman. I suppose it helps that both characters have been played by Christian Bale. I just didn’t get on with win. Not Coben’s best work in my opinion. A bit of a slog to listen to.

If Patrick Bateman were Batman

Once again Harlan manages to weave humour, sarcasm and sometimes brutality into a fast pace storyline. He has adapted his favourite character Windsor into a multi theme, that involves digging into who is telling the truth with many a twist and a few unexpected revelations.

win is a winner
