Description

In the second Myron Bolitar novel, a young woman’s tragic death spirals into a shattering drama of menace, secrets, and rage. Suddenly Myron is in over his head—and playing the most dangerous game of all.

“Engaging . . . hilarious.”—Los Angeles Times Book Review

Once, Valerie Simpson’s tennis career skyrocketed; now, the headlines belong to a player from the wrong side of the tracks. But when Valerie is shot dead in cold blood and dropped outside the stadium at the U.S. Open, sports agent Myron Bolitar investigates the killing and uncovers a connection between the two players and a six-year-old murder at an exclusive mainline club. As Myron is drawn into the case—along with a dirty U.S. senator, a jealous mother, and the mob—he finds himself caught between a killer and the truth.

“Harlan Coben is the modern master of the hook-and-twist.”—Dan Brown

A Harlan Coben book will cancel any social plans I have instantly with its grab. This is another winner…

Great plots but Sexist and juvenile in its portrayal of women. Reflection of the times and age of author.
Awesome book

I like Myron Bolitar. Coben does a really good job developing characters. After reading two Bolitar books I will be looking for more of them.

Harlan Coben is one of my favorite authors and Bolitar is my favorite character. This is a totally readable novel with a typically surprise Coben ending. Enjoy
Better than his first.

Win is really a homicidal lunatic. He needs to kill. The other parts of the story are feasible, the Win character is not. In real life, all his murders would be investigated. Coben is saying the every kill by Win turns out to be a perfect crime. Sorry. That just doesn’t work for me. If he only used his martial arts skills, that would be better. I hope Coben fixes this in some way but he’s just killed too many in the first two books.
Another huge plot twist!
