Windsor Horne Lockwood III is quite simply one of the best characters I’ve read in years.

Lovers of Harlan Coben’s Myron Bolitar series will already be familiar with his incredibly wealthy, psychopathic best friend. It was always obvious that there was much more to Win than what we saw in those stories and so a spin-off was perhaps inevitable.

Windsor Horne Lockwood III, otherwise known as Win, is Myron Bolitar’s psychotic sidekick in Coben’s long-running series. Win is pure antihero.

Other than Myron and Myron’s business partner, Esperanza, and maybe half a dozen others, he has no emotional attachment to humans.

Despite his psychopathy, Win is a very funny character, and his loyalty to his few friends is absolute. Win…
