Description

The debut of Myron Bolitar, a hotheaded, tenderhearted sports agent and one of the most fascinating and complex heroes in suspense fiction—a page-turning classic from Edgar Award–winner and master storyteller Harlan Coben.

“One of the most engaging heroes in mystery fiction.”—Dennis Lehane

Sports agent Myron Bolitar is poised on the edge of the big time. So is Christian Steele, a rookie quarterback and Myron’s prized client. But when Christian gets a phone call from a former girlfriend—a woman who everyone, including the police, believes is dead—the deal starts to go sour. Trying to unravel the truth about a family’s tragedy, a woman’s secret, and a man’s lies, Myron is up against the dark side of his business—where image and talent make you rich, but the truth can get you killed.

“What sets Harlan Coben above the crowd are wit and wicked nonchalance.”—Los Angeles Times

The complexity of the plot is too good to even imagine! Harlan Coben is by far the best of the best!

Great characters. Lots of twists and turns…almost too many. Kind of a convoluted plot.

The first book in his series did not disappoint. Still haven’t figured out a way to beat Harlan to the ending. He keeps you guessing till the last page.

I enjoyed this mishmash of misdirected chaos so much I couldn’t wait to finish it. The ending was a great tie up of events that we forgot to notice. I bought the whole premise hook, line, and sinker.
Ready for another

Overall I was a fan of this book including its main characters; my only major complaint would be the writer's continued attempts at humor with the main character. To me it normally fell flat. In addition, some of the comments Myron made to other characters when questioning them were so off-the-wall, to me it was just annoying. Still, I enjoyed its twists and turns and will give this series another go.
Love it! Must Read!
