      Will Klein tiene su héroe: su hermano mayor Ken. Una noche de calor agobiante aparece en el sótano de la casa de los Klein una joven, antiguo amor de Will, asesinada y violada. El principal sospechoso es Ken. Ante la abrumadora evidencia en contra suya, Ken desaparece. Pasan los años y su desesperada familia, que no ha vuelto a saber nada de él, le da por muerto. Una década después de la desaparición, Will, que siempre creyó en la inocencia de su hermano, descubre que éste vive, en un momento en que se encuentra abrumado por un fuerte desengaño. Acosado entre ambos dramas, Will se ve mezclado en un inquietante misterio. Está convencido de que Ken está tratando de ponerse en contacto con él y de la existencia de un terrible secreto por el que alguien está decidido a matar porque no se desvele.

      Haley McWaid es la hija adolescente de la que cualquier padre se sentiría orgulloso: una chica responsable, una estudiante aplicada y buena deportista. Por eso, cuando una mañana su madre descubre con sorpresa que no ha dormido en casa, la primera reacción es de extrañeza y la segunda de pánico. El paso del tiempo provoca que la familia se tema lo peor. Casos como el de Haley llaman la atención de la periodista Wendy Tynes, que trabaja en un programa de televisión centrado en localizar por internet a pedófilos, engañarlos y atraparlos con las manos en la masa. El próximo objetivo de Wendy es Dan Mercer, un trabajador social que ayuda a adolescentes con problemas. La rápida emisión del programa que acusa a Dan de pedófilo arruina su vida, a pesar de que él proclama desde un principio su inocencia. Pero tal vez en esta ocasión Wendy se haya precipitado a la hora de actuar, porque los indicios que apuntan a la culpabilidad de Dan son realmente débiles.

      #1 New York Times bestselling author Harlan Coben proves once again that "nobody writes them better" in a thriller that asks a provocative question: Is a pretty lie better than the ugly truth? Harlan Coben published his first Myron Bolitar thriller, Deal Breaker , in 1995, introducing a hero that would captivate millions. Over the years we have watched Myron walk a tight rope between sports agent, friend, problem solver and private eye, his big heart quick to defend his client's interests so fiercely that he can't help but jump in to save them, no matter the cost. When former tennis star Suzze T and her rock star husband, Lex, encounter an anonymous Facebook post questioning the paternity of their unborn child, Lex runs off, and Suzze - at eight months pregnant - asks Myron to save her marriage, and perhaps her husband's life. But when he finds Lex, he also finds someone he wasn't looking for: his sister-in-law, Kitty, who along with Myron's brother abandoned the Bolitar family long ago. As Myron races to locate his missing brother while their father clings to life, he must face the lies that led to the estrangement - including the ones told by Myron himself.

      Myron returns from a sabbatical (recovering from the events of ONE FALSE MOVE) to investigate the murder of a client - a troubled New York Yankees baseball player called Clu Haid. Clu was apparently shot by Esperanza Diaz, who just happens to be Myron's best friend and partner in the sport's agency. Esperanza is hiding something, but Myron isn't sure if it has to do with her job, or with her private life. His search for the truth takes him back to a shabby incident from his own past, and to times he would rather forget. THE FINAL DETAIL is classic Harlan Coben - powerful, moving and ultimately shocking. It tells of what a friend can sacrifice and how hard it is to save those you love - particularly from themselves¿
