Synopsis

The home was top-notch New Jersey suburban. The living room was Martha Stewart. The basement was Legos—and blood. For sports agent Myron Bolitar, the disappearance of a man he'd once competed against was bringing back memories—of the sport he and Greg Downing had both played and the woman they both loved. Now, among the stars, the wanna-bes, the gamblers and groupies, Myron is unraveling the strange, violent life of a sports hero gone wrong, and coming face-to-face with a past he can't relive, and a present he may not survive.

In novels that crackle with wit and suspense, Edgar Award winner Harlan Coben has created one of the most fascinating and complex heroes in suspense fiction—Myron Bolitar—a hotheaded, tenderhearted sports agent who grows more and more engaging and unpredictable with each page-turning appearance.

Harlan Coben is one of my favorite authors. His Bolitar books are all great. This is no exception!!

Goodreads review by Matthew on August 14, 2016

Oh, Coben, you have done it again. With 20 pages left I was wondering if I was going to give this book more than 3 stars, or if it was going to end up being mediocre. The story is far fetched and highly unbelievable, but I am willing to suspend belief for a few hundred pages of Myron and Win antics.......more

Goodreads review by Suz on December 10, 2017

I very much have missed Myron Bolitar, but feel I must have waited too long in between books (and I did skip this one and read number 4 first, I was not happy about this). I wasn't as excited about this book as I would have hoped, Win and Myron did have the same humour and bantering as always, but I......more

Goodreads review by Baba on December 24, 2020

Unable to leave the world of Myron Bolitar, I managed to pick up the third book in the series. 'Gripping thriller set in the world of the NBA. A Myron Bolitar jam which may seem some possible reveals about his past.' was my 2008 original review. I would also add that the Myron Bolitar appeal is the......more
