Mickey Bolitar

Created by Harlan Coben

Young teenager MICKEY BOLITAR‘s even further removed from P.I. status than his crime-solving uncle Myron Bolitar, the trouble-bound sports agent who thinks he’s Spenser.

But, like his uncle with whom he goes to live with after the death of his father in this series of young adult mysteries, Mickey’s got the goods — from the smart-ass patter and the hard-boiled grit to the hands-on approach to getting to the bottom of things. So if he’s an amateur, at least he’s a gifted one. Plus, in true “boy detective” fashion, he has a few loyal “chums” to help out.

A great spin-off that never feels cheap or cranked out, the Mickey books should appeal to any kid who likes a good read — or any adult, for that matter.

And that’s what Amazon counted on, when they decided to launch a mini-series, Harlan Coben’s Shelter, based on the first novel in 2023.
