Product Description

From Amazon.com

As readers who have enjoyed his appearances in original paperbacks already know, Harlan Coben's former professional basketball star Myron Bolitar is not your everyday testosterone-enriched jock. Myron is a mild-mannered guy who drinks chocolate soda and until very recently lived at home with his parents in suburban New Jersey. In his hardcover debut, we find Myron sharing a New York apartment with his longtime lady friend, writer Jessica Culver, and still running MB SportsReps, where he ostensibly manages the careers of other athletes, but really spends most of his time playing private eye. The arrival in Myron's life of rising pro basketball star Brenda Slaughter seriously tests his commitment to Jessica, who is in Hollywood working on a movie. It seems that Brenda's father Horace--Myron's old coach--has disappeared, and Brenda is receiving death threats that might involve a gangster family's plans for a new female professional basketball league. Or the threats might have something to do with Brenda's mother's connection to a wealthy New Jersey political family. Myron and his banker friend Win, a preppy with a penchant for violence, are more than enough to double-team the bad guys. Previous Myron Bolitar games in paperback include Backspin, Deal Breaker, Drop Shot, and Fade Away. --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.


From Library Journal

Series sports agent Myron Bolitar handles everything with panache: his relationships, his clients, and this search for two missing people. When a sports store mogul asks him to "watch over" basketball star Brenda Slaughter, Myron winds up looking for her father, who disappeared a week ago, and her mother, who deserted the family some 20 years earlier. Myron not only discovers mob interest in female basketball but also a connected suspicious death in a high-profile political family. Standard plotting, then, but authentic conversation, colorful characters, and exciting New York and New Jersey surrounds more than compensate. Strongly recommended.

This review is from: One False Move (Mass Market Paperback)
This was my first book by Harlan Coben and I was hook, talk about keeping you at the edge of your seat. I have not picked up a book of his since and been disappointed. I think I only have 3 of his books left to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bolitar Scores Again!, April 14 2004
By Gary Turner (Powder Springs, Georgia USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: One False Move (Hardcover)
Once again, Harlan Coben and Myron Bolitar are true to form. The witty Bolitar finds himself invloved in a mystery involving murder, a disappearance from twenty years ago and political intrigue. Along with his sidekick Win, he cracks the case, while giving the reader a jolly good time. Hard to put down!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Terrific, Snappy, Fast and Furious Mystery Thriller, Feb 12 2004
By Kesha Dylan (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: One False Move (Mass Market Paperback)
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.
