  • THE ALL-IN-ONE AUDIOBOOK It Has Been Six Years Since Entertainment Agent Myron Bolitar Last Played Superhero
    If You’re Ever in a Bind, If You Ever Need My Help, Promise Me You’ll Call Me. I’ll Come Get You Wherever You Are… THE ALL-IN-ONE AUDIOBOOK It has been six years since entertainment agent Myron Bolitar last played superhero. In six years he hasn’t thrown a punch. He hasn’t held, much less fired, a gun. He hasn’t called his friend Win, still the scariest man he knows, to back him up or get him out of trouble. All that is about to change…because of a promise. The school year is almost over. In these last pressure-cooker months of high school, some kids will make the all-too-common and all-too-dangerous mistake of drinking and driving. But Myron is determined to help keep his friends’ children safe, so he makes two neighborhood girls promise him: If they are ever in a bind but are afraid to call their parents, they must call him. Several nights later, the call comes at 2:00 AM, and true to his word, Myron picks up one of the girls in midtown Manhattan and drives her to a quiet cul- de-sac in New Jersey where she says her friend lives. The next day, the girl’s parents discover that their daughter is missing. And that Myron was the last person to see her. Desperate to fulfill a well- intentioned promise turned nightmarishly wrong, Myron races to find her before she’s gone forever. Winner of the Edgar Award, the Shamus Award, and the Anthony Award, Harlan Coben is the author of twelve previous novels, including the New York Times bestsellers The Innocent, Just One Look, No Second Chance, Gone for Good, and Tell No One, as well as the popular Myron Bolitar novels.
