Features: How far is the distance between appearance and the truth before it can truly strike fear in a person?! A washed-up young tennis star is shot dead just moments before she seeks help from Milo. Everyone connected to the case—from a congressional aide to a New York mob boss, even Milo himself—wants him to stay out of it. No one cares about the girl's life, not even her own mother. What dark secrets are hidden behind this case? ◎ This series will be adapted into a film by Columbia Pictures, with producer John Calley, who directed The Da Vinci Code. ◎ This series is considered one of the best suspense novels in recent years. ◎ "Harlan Coben is a modern master of suspense—he can grab your heart on every page and deliver a shocking ending." The Da Vinci Code author/Dan Brown ◎ The young American author has won three major awards: the Anthony Award, the Edgar Award, and the Shamus Award. In a series of clever and suspenseful novels, International Thriller of the Year winner Harlan Coben has created the most charming and complex hero in suspense fiction—Milo Thorne, an impulsive, soft-hearted sports agent. The meticulously crafted plots make readers unable to put the book down, with every new page becoming more captivating and unpredictable. "Tight plotting, witty dialogue, numerous twists, and a completely unexpected ending. Harlan Coben has brought an exciting new voice to the mystery genre." The Armchair Detective "Engaging and fun!" Los Angeles Times Book Review "Coben's depiction of the sports market is hilarious." Los Angeles Times Book Review "A superior work. Harlan Coben's The Kill Switch is a delicious meal."
