Victorian London, in all its awful, teeming, endless variety, with its dark alleyways peopled by criminals, beggars and children, its unbreathable air, its pea-soup smog, its carriages rattling along streets lined with prostitutes, its weary laborers filing out for a pint at the end of a mind-numbing day, its warm, smoke-filled theaters, its cool, airy, quiet museum library, its actors, its murderers, its writers, its intellectuals -- all of this erupts from Mr. Ackroyd's overheated imagination with the hectic, insistent reality of a nightmare. He cannot look away until he wakes up, and neither can we. REUPLOAD NEEDED
The fourth book in the Myron Bolitar series, written in 1997. In these novels that crackle with wit and suspense, Edgar Award winner Harlan Coben has created one of the most fascinating and complex heroes in suspense fiction--Myron Bolitar--a hotheaded, tenderhearted sports agent who grows more and more engaging and unpredictable with each page-turning appearance.
Book seven in Coben's wonderfully rich series (after 1999's The Final Detail), which features sports agent Myron Bolitar, former basketball player and totally believable human being, is all about fathers, sons and the intricate and often painful chains that link them together. But the heart of the novel is, as always, the fallible but infinitely appealing, accessible figure of Myron Bolitar--a modern Don Quixote complete with knee brace and cell phone, ready to take on the world's problems.
