REVIEW.
First published May 1, 2000 (Booklist).
Sports agent Myron Bolitar is busy hustling new clients and schmoozing old ones when his first love drops back into his life. She has some news for Myron: she broke up with Greg, and her son, who is dying of a rare form of anemia, is also Myron’s son. The boy, Jeremy, needs a bone marrow transplant if his life is to be saved. A possible donor has disappeared. Will Myron help? The search points to the son of powerful East Coast parents, but they aren’t talking. Then Jeremy is kidnapped by a serial killer who seems intent on psychologically torturing his victims’ families. The Bolitar thrillers are always leavened with humor, no matter how grim the content, and this one is no exception. Even so, the darkness of the plot and the seriousness of the theme--the reponsibilities of parenthood--give this installment added impact. Thought-provoking issues and mind-numbing terror made more real by their human context. (Reviewed May 1, 2000)— Wes Lukowsky
