Myron says I love you. Great. (  ) EricPMagnuson | Nov 12, 2009 |  In Harlan Coben's, Promise Me, agent slash avenger, Myron Bolitar, inherits more than he bargained for when he asks a couple of teenage girls to promise and call him if they are ever in trouble. Coben delivers a plot full of action and misdirection that's sure to please mystery and suspense fans in this tale of suburban desperation. I liked the book, though I found the love scenes between Myron and his new girlfriend, Ali, to be a bit too cute. I also felt Myron's sidekick, Win, was an over-the-top hero. No matter what Myron needed or when he needed it, his buddy Win was there to deliver. That being said, Promise Me has that hard to define Make-you-want-to-read-it quality going in full force. Bob Avey, Author of Beneath a Buried House BobAvey | Oct 30, 2009 | Myron tells two high school girls they can call him at any time of night for a sober ride home. When one of them takes him up on his offer, she disappears. Coben writes a fast-paced thriller with several twists I didn't see coming. (  ) readerspeak | Sep 15, 2009 | I'm running out of adjectives to describe how much I love Harlan's books. This is no exception. Keep me up all night. If a book keeps me up, it's gotta be good.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0525949496, Hardcover)New York Times bestselling author Harlan Coben returns with PROMISE ME--a searing new thriller and a story of how far we will go to protect our own….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. Anxious families await word of college acceptances. 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, and 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. But his past will not be buried so easily - for trouble has always stalked him, and his loved ones often suffer. Now Myron must decide once and for all who he is and what he will stand up for if he is to have any hope of saving a young girl’s life.
