A young adult debut from internationally bestselling author Harlan Coben
Mickey Bolitar's year can't get much worse. After witnessing his father's death and sending his mom to rehab, he's forced to live with his estranged uncle Myron and switch high schools.
A new school comes with new friends and new enemies, and lucky for Mickey, it also comes with a great new girlfriend, Ashley. For a while, it seems like Mickey's train-wreck of a life is finally improving - until Ashley vanishes without a trace. Unwilling to let another person walk out of his life, Mickey follows Ashley's trail into a seedy underworld that reveals that this seemingly sweet, shy girl isn't who she claimed to be. And neither was Mickey's father. Soon, Mickey learns about a conspiracy so shocking that it makes high school drama seem like a luxury - and leaves him questioning everything about the life he thought he knew.
First introduced to readers in Harlan Coben's latest adult novel, Live Wire, Mickey Bolitar is as quick-witted and clever as his uncle Myron, and eager to go to any length to save the people he cares about. With this new series, Coben introduces an entirely new generation of fans to the masterful plotting and wry humor that have made him an award-winning, internationally bestselling, and beloved author.
Follow Mickey Bolitar on his next adventure in Seconds Away, coming out in Fall 2012!

Recommended for fans of Harlan Coben (which I am not), YA crime, and juvenile detective work.

Rated 3,8, rounded up to 4*
Got this as I saw it was filmed as a short (limited?) TV-Series, and in Germany (where I live and breath) shown on Amazon Prime. The Trailer was none too good, regarding faithfulness to the book?!
Also, I am not too fond of the few Coben books I read and the TV series I saw or began to see and DNFed.
This one is classified as YA, and with a theme, which is only later revealed, not mentioned before, or I would have hesitated picking up the book. As not to spoil it, that theme is not a trigger (I hope).
Other things mentioned could be, but I think it is sensible handled.
Recommended for fans of Harlan Coben (which I am not), YA crime, and juvenile detective work. May read the next book, as this is planned as a series. There is not hard cliffhanger, but I can see a few questions unsolved which could be handled in the next book. If the next book continues the main theme (the "not to spoil it"-theme), I will most certainly stop reading this series. Reading this review rounding up to 4 stars looks exaggerated, but I leave it at that.
