A Terrific, Snappy, Fast and Furious Mystery Thriller, Fév 12 2004
Sports agent Myron Bolitar agrees to bodyguard a rising young women's basketball star as professional favor to friend Norman Zuckerman, who by the way, also doesn't have an agent to represent her. Someone has been making disturbing telephone calls and tracking her every movement. Also Brenda's father, who gave Myron his first chance as an athlete, has disappeared, so its more than growing feelings for the charismatic Brenda that has Myron going back to do a little detecting.With the help of his dangerous and psychotic best friend Win, Myron gets involved in an old murder and the mystery of what happened to Brenda's mother over twenty years ago. Brenda has never believed her mother could have abandoned her and vanished without a very good reason. Myron is told to leave that old case alone, but ploughs doggedly ahead, despite threats, subtle and not so subtle, and he soon finds himself sandwiched between two men running for governor, both slinging still more threats. It's pretty hard to go more than a couple of pages without a laugh while reading this snappy, fast and furious mystery. As usual, Coben's characters make the story. They are always unforgettable, always real, sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic, always a delight. Even though there was violence here, I really loved this story.
