To paraphrase the Bard: “The mistakes that men make live long after them.” This thesis governs the plot of this latest Myron Bolitar novel. Except the errors Myron made were the result of deceptions or lies by others. So what lesson is to be learned?
While there might be a reason to summarize the tale, it ain’t gonna happen here. The story has been told by others and I see no reason to waste time repeating. Needless to say, Myron (and his sidekick, Win) find themselves in another messy situation and have to fight their way out with all kinds of wiles and force. The tale begins many years earlier when Myron and his younger brother, Brad, have a falling out and Brad and his wife disappear from the Bolitars’ lives, traveling and working out of the country. Now, 16 years later, Myron’s father has a heart attack and asks Myron to find Brad.
The plea leads to various complications, and the author, with his accustomed plot twists, allows the reader to wend his or her way through a series of unrelated side plots until a graphic finale. The story moves swiftly, and as is customary the wisecracking Myron and enigmatic Win adorn the pages. Recommended.
