''Where is Greg Downing?'' Sports Agent, Myron Bolitar, is in his new office on the top of a skyscraper in New York when two FBI agents call.
The man they refer to is Myron''s former client and top basketball player. Downing''s DNA has been found at the scene of a high-profile double-murder, and he is their main suspect.
It can''t be Downing, Myron tells the two agents: the reason Downing is his ''former'' client is because he died of a heart attack three years previously. Myron went to his funeral and gave the eulogy.
So how can a man who''s already dead be wanted for murder?
Secrets, lies, and a murderous conspiracy that stretches back into the past lies at the heart of Harlan Coben''s blistering new bestseller.

The thirty-first instalment in James Patterson''s globally bestselling series Alex Cross, fresh from a brush with death himself, is on the trail of the Dead Hours Killer.
Detectives Cross and Sampson are tracking a serial killer who''s fatally ambushing young men in the ''Dead Hours'' murders. They don''t hear the machine gun fire. At first.
''Drop whatever you''re doing, Dr. Cross, and head to Reagan Airport,'' DC Metro Police dispatch says. ''A plane just crashed and exploded on the runway. The chief and the FBI want you and John Sampson there pronto.'' The weapon that took down the plane is a remote-controlled Vietnam-War-era machine gun. The list of those who possess the training and expertise to operate the stolen, .50-caliber weapon is short. And time runs even shorter.
As Cross and Sampson race to prevent another mass murder, their fearsomely armed opponent once again looks skyward.
