BOOK SYNOPSIS:
The new novel from Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times bestselling author and creator of The Stranger on Netflix.
From a #1 New York Times bestselling author comes this thrilling story that shows what happens when a dead man’s secrets fall into the hands of vigilante antihero—drawing him down a dangerous road.
Over twenty years ago, the 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 the 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 toward 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 with a dead man. But his interest is piqued, especially when the FBI tells him that the man who kidnapped his cousin was also behind an act of domestic terrorism — and that the conspirators may still be at large. The two cases have baffled the FBI for decades, but Win has three things the FBI doesn’t: a personal connection to the case; an ungodly fortune; and his own unique brand of justice.
REVIEW:
3.75 Hearts Ok so here is the thing. This is a new series but we met Win throughout the previous books by Harlan Coben. But even though we have met him this starts a new series about him so his back stories are available. You just have a better idea of Win if you have read the other books.
Now what I will tell you about Win is he is an A$$! He is everything the stereotypical rich white man. And he cares about very little.
The one thing I enjoy about Harlon Cobin’s books is the humor. Yes there is suspense but the thing that makes his books worth reading is the humor.
I am very excited to learn more about Win and see if there is anything worthy of liking him since we now get to read from his point of view.

I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
