Darkest Fear by Harlan Coben

Jump to Comments

Darkest Fear is the 6th and most recent Myron Bolitar story and it starts with a whopper of a revelation. Myron learns from an ex-girlfriend that he is the father of her 13 year old son. If that wasn’t enough, the boy is in desperate need of a bone marrow transplant and will die without one. A matching donor was found in the national registry, but no one can locate him and Myron is in a race against the clock to find this mystery man before his son dies.

At a time when MB SportReps is still reeling from the clients it lost while Myron was secluding himself on a Caribbeanisland, Myron must balance the need to keep his business afloat with the frantic search for the man who holds the key to his son’s future. While trying to contact the man, Myron stumbles across a serial killer that the FBI has been searching for. He gets involved in the search and meets a journalist who claims to have interviewed the man but refuses to reveal his identity. Is this killer somehow linked to the marrow donor than Myron so desperately needs to find?
