What this book is about
Myron Bolitar makes a promise to two neighborhood girls — if they're ever in trouble, they can call him. One of them calls from a party, drunk, needing a ride. He drops her off and she's never seen again. Promise Me is the eighth Myron Bolitar novel — Coben's sports agent detective series; can be read as a standalone but benefits from the series' character development.
