Can't get enough of Myron, Win, Esperanza, and Big Cyndi. The banter between them is fabulous. This story of two boys abducted at 6 years old, with one "rescued" at 16 has lots of twist and turns. Plus Fat Gandhi, which has got to be one of the great character names of all time.

A Myron Bolitar mystery (I believe this is #11) but can be easily read as a stand alone book. Bolitar gets himself involved in the hunt for 2 boys, missing without a trace for 10 years. He locates one, brings him home - and so the mystery begins. The usual what? when? where? why? questions are asked and most are answered. A book of family and friendship as well as a small view into the world of trafficking of young people.

I loved this book. Read it in one sitting. Myron is back with Win. Myron's nephew and his girlfriend step in to help out. Myron is a "softie" in that he loves deeply and isn't afraid to shed a tear or two. Best of all, this book kept me guessing until the very end. I have read all the Myron books, and they just keep getting better. I'm going to read his young adult books starring his nephew. I highly recommend this book.
