Synopsis

She's smart, beautiful, and she doesn't need a man to look after her. But sports agent Myron Bolitar has come into her life—big time. Now Myron's next move may be his last. . .

Brenda Slaughter is no damsel in distress. Myron Bolitar is no bodyguard. But Myron has agreed to protect the bright, strong, beautiful basketball star. And he's about to find out if he's man enough to unravel the tragic riddle of her life.

Twenty years before, Brenda's mother deserted her. And just as Brenda is making it to the top of the women's pro basketball world, her father disappears too. A big-time New York sports agent with a foundering love life, Myron has a professional interest in Brenda. Then a personal one. But between them isn't just the difference in their backgrounds or the color of their skin. Between them is a chasm of corruption and lies, a vicious young mafioso on the make, and one secret that some people are dying to keep—and others are killing to protect....

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

Goodreads review by Matthew on November 03, 2017

This book is somewhat of dark turn for Coben and Myron Bolitar. For a while I was thinking I might go three stars with this because it felt so different and much rawer than I am used to (rawer sounds weird to me, but according to spell check, “more raw” is not correct!). But, towards the end of the......more

Quick thoughts before I write a review after holidays. I love how Myron and Esperanza are best of friends. I love Myron’s honesty. I love Myron’s style of integrity. I love that Win always has his back; and their banter can’t be beaten. I love that Myron is considering all his options regarding Jess......more

But I recently picked up a copy of Win, a new novel from Coben featuring Bolitar’s sidekick Windsor Horne Lockwood III. I lov......more

Goodreads review by Damo on May 30, 2023

The 5th book in the Myron Bolitar series is a bit of a departure from the usual breezy hi-jinks featuring the sports agent. Up until now the series provided one type of mystery or another that required Myron to call on his powers of deductive reasoning along with Win Horne Lockwood to provide muscle......more

Parts had me laughing out loud with their funny remarks, and other parts just had me deep in surprise and excitement! I think the Myron Bolitar series just might be my new favorite murder/m......more
