"Over twenty years ago, the heiress Patricia Lockwood was abducted during a robbery of her family's estate, then locked inside an isolated cabin for months. Patricia escaped, but so did her captors -- and the items stolen from her family were never recovered. Until now. On the Upper West Side, a recluse is found murdered in his penthouse apartment, alongside two objects of note: a stolen Vermeer painting and a leather suitcase bearing the initials WHL3. For the first time in years, the authorities have a lead -- not only on Patricia's kidnapping, but also on another FBI cold case -- with the suitcase and painting both pointing them toward one man. Windsor Horne Lockwood III -- or Win, as his few friends call him -- doesn't know how his suitcase and his family's stolen painting ended up with a dead man. But his interest is piqued, especially when the FBI tells him that the man who kidnapped his cousin was also behind an act of domestic terrorism -- and that the conspirators may still be at large. The two cases have baffled the FBI for decades, but Win has three things the FBI doesn't: a personal connection to the case; an ungodly fortune; and his own unique brand of justice"--… (altro)

Really fun, if you can call it that?....to have Win describing his life and what and how he lives it. YES, not really a model of acceptable behavior in a civilized society except....this IS a novel and Coben can let Win be as "?" as he is......Coben lets you feel as though, as usual with Coben, that you are listening to who is telling the story...in this case, Win. Will there be more books?? Any more with Myron....or is he now gone because he is officially married and retired from his former lif?. And Win....where to go from here?? ( )

This is the 1st book starring Windsor Horne Lockwod the 3rd a very rich young man he is friends with Myron Bolitar.
Win as his known likes to right wrongs and investigate things the Police can no longer solve.
He beats up a Basketball star who was assaulting a Lady.

An old painting is found in a recluse apartment recluse is dead. Painting belongs to Wins family.
Recluse was a radical in the 1970s Part of the Jane Street 6 who firebombed a bus.
The all went underground, the missing painting is linked to his cousin Patrica who was kidnapped when she was younger, people believed she was a victim of the Hut of horrors when young Girls were murdered. With some more digging it turns out Patrica actually killed her Father as he was the one killing the young Girls she faked her kidnap and ran off with Ry Strauss who was one of the original Jane Street 6. OK book I don't really like Win though he is far to pompous for me. ( )

A suspenseful read but too much like Batman and to dark for me. ( )

I would have enjoyed this thriller more if only the main protagonist had been less obnoxious! Win is a super rich, talented guy, who takes on the wrongs of the world when legitimate ways don’t work fast enough for him. He is immoral, arrogant, narcissist, conceited, and egotistic. He and his family come first, and their superior name and reputation must be protected at any cost. How can you not like a guy like this? Let me count the ways! Well, I don’t have enough time for that now - you can figure it out anyway. The suspense builds throughout the novel, and the mystery is a good one, right up to the contrived and convoluted conclusion. There is more than one mystery to solve, and Win’s patience is wearing thin. He is a man of action, after all! There are some graphic murder descriptions, some torture, some really hurtful fights, and so on. I know many people like this sort of writing and enjoyed this novel, but it was a bit over the top for me. Harlan Coben does write well, but I really didn’t care for his characters in this one. ( )
