Myron returns from a sabbatical (recovering from the events of ONE FALSE MOVE) to investigate the murder of a client - a troubled New York Yankees baseball player called Clu Haid. Clu was apparently shot by Esperanza Diaz, who just happens to be Myron's best friend and partner in the sport's agency. Esperanza is hiding something, but Myron isn't sure if it has to do with her job, or with her private life. His search for the truth takes him back to a shabby incident from his own past, and to times he would rather forget. THE FINAL DETAIL is classic Harlan Coben - powerful, moving and ultimately shocking. It tells of what a friend can sacrifice and how hard it is to save those you love - particularly from themselves¿

Sportovního agenta a příležitostného vyšetřovatele Myrona Bolitara (čeští čtenáři se s ním už mohli seznámit v románu Podrazák) kontaktuje z Paříže jeho bývalá přítelkyně Terese Collinsová, kdysi populární a známá moderátorka, která se osm let skrývala před celým světem. Požádá ho, aby za ní okamžitě přicestoval do Evropy. Krátce poté, co Bolitar přilétá do Francie, je Teresin manžel, reportér CNN, nalezen mrtvý a Bolitar přinucen spolupracovat s francouzskou policií. Octne se na stopě vraha, ale po přestřelce s ním Bolitara někdo unese a případ je ututlán. Ne však pro Bolitara – tím spíš, že vše nějak souvisí s dávnou tragickou smrtí Teresiny jediné dcery Miriam. Ta je totiž možná stále naživu… Další vynikající příběh z pera Harlana Cobena, brilantního tvůrce neotřelých zápletek, vtipných dialogů, vyhrocených akčních scén (do nichž se tentokrát zapletou i příslušníci tajných zpravodajských služeb) a nečekaných dějových zvratů.
