What this book is about

Patrick Moore was ten years old when he was kidnapped — along with another boy, Rhys. Ten years later, Patrick is found in London. Rhys is not with him. Patrick's family is desperate to bring him home — but Patrick seems reluctant to return, and what he says about his captivity doesn't add up. Myron and Win investigate. Home is the eleventh Myron Bolitar novel — one of Coben's most emotionally gutting.
