Win by Harlan Coben

With that title, you would assume that Myron Bolitar was back playing basketball.  Well, we all know how assumptions work.  Now that we know there is no basketball involved, we go to Windsor Horne Lockwood III or Win.   Win in a strict psychological evaluation is not wrapped too tight, clinically speaking.   However, super-rich folks can be completely bonkers with no repercussions.   The mystery involves Win and his dysfunctional family.

Coben delves into the past and looks at the social structure and the protests against the war in Vietnam.  Those protests led to questionable behavior with unforeseen consequences.   Decades later the discovery of a dead protestor, a stolen painting, and the resurrection of a sordid family secret fans the fires of mystery.

Coben grabs you by the throat and never let's go.   He can have a narcissistic anti-hero as a laudable protagonist.   You can never be sure who is going to do what.   He maintains tension throughout the book. 

I enjoyed the book and highly recommend it.
