Edgar Award-winner Harlan Coben brings us his most astonishing -- and deeply personal -- novel yet. And it all begins when Myron Bolitar's ex tells him he's a father ... of a dying thirteen-year-old boy.
Myron never saw it coming. A surprise visit from an ex-girlfriend is unsettling enough. But Emily Downing's news brings him to his knees. Her son Jeremy is dying and needs a bone-marrow transplant -- from a donor who has vanished without a trace. Then comes the real shocker: The boy is Myron's son, conceived the night before her wedding to another man.
Staggered by the news, Myron plunges into a search for the missing donor. But finding him means cracking open a dark mystery that involves a broken family, a brutal kidnapping spree, and the FBI. Somewhere in the sordid mess is the donor who disappeared. And as doubts emerge about Jeremy's true paternity, a child vanishes, igniting a chain reaction of heartbreaking truth and chilling revelation.

Customer Rating: 
Summary: Paramount ending
Comment: Albeit the book digress of the main plot once and again it'll keep you interested in the story. You'll have some inklings of who is the bad guy but only at the book's end and then you'll ask yourself "of course why didn't I see it before?" Once you reach half the book you won't be able to stop reading.

Summary: Not my favorite and I am a big fan....
Comment: I read many of the other reviews, this one just didn't do it for me. It was still good and very fast reading.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A strong story about being a father
Comment: This is a funny, emotional, and compelling book. I love all Myron Bolitar books because they are great stories that are flat out fun. This one adds the story of Myron being a father and what that means. Excellent!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Does The Means Justify The End?
Comment: You will be asking yourself this by the time you get done this story. Myron must use some ruthless tactics in this one to try and save a person's life and this person is very important to him. Of course ruthless is Win's middle name and he has no remorse when it comes to dealing with evil with his Sixth Degree Black Belt mind and body.
The reason that I gave this story a three is because it's slow first half and lack of action. I like more action with a mystery such as this one. The end is very good and kept me guessing. I like the characters in this series, but they were all a little dull.

Summary: "Darkest Fear" by Harlan Coben
Comment: I have only recently started reading Harlan Corben(s) books, and this is the second of the Myron Bolitar searies. Fun tongue-n-cheek writing, with great twists. I liked "Promise Me" better. When stumped for a good page turner to buy, Mr. Corben is on my best bet list, along with Joseph Finder, Peter Straub, Richard Preston and of course Stephen King.
