Book Description

1st in Myron Bolitar Mystery series

Sports agent Myron Bolitar is poised on the edge of the big-time. So is Christian Steele, a rookie quarterback and Myron's prized client. But when Christian gets a phone call from a former girlfriend, a woman who everyone, including the police, believes is dead, the deal starts to go sour. Suddenly Myron is plunged into a baffling mystery of sex and blackmail. Trying to unravel the truth about a family's tragedy, a woman's secret, and a man's lies, Myron is up against the dark side of his business - where image and talent make you rich, but the truth can get you killed.

"Like fellow-wisecracking P.I.s Spenser and Elvis Cole, Myron Bolitar is great fun in the best hard-boiled tradition." (Houston Chronicle) --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.



Ingram

Defending a golden-haired quarterback who has been accused of murdering the missing Kathy Culver, Myron Bolitar aggressively follows a series of leads that suggest that the victim is still alive. --Ce texte provient de la Mass Market Paperback édition.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Myron Bolitar, Crimebustin' Sports Agent, Aoû 12 2008
Par Craobh Rua "Craobh Rua" (N. Ireland) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Deal Breaker (Mass Market Paperback)
Coben saw his first book published in 1990. "Deal Breaker" is his third and was first published in 1995. However, it is his first to feature Myron Bolitar.

Myron Bolitar has been a sports agent for lny two years and has only a few clients to his name. Among them are Ricky Lane, a running back for the Jets, and Christian Steele - a footballer fresh out of college and the hottest prospect in years. There is, unfortunately, a touch of tragedy in Steele's background : eighteen months before the book opens Steele's fiancee - Kathy Culver - disappeared without a trace from the grounds of Reston University. The story was big news and not just because of Christian's status as an up-and-coming footballer : Kathy's sister, Jessica, is also a very famous author. The only clue to the mystery came when Kathy's underwear was found in a dumpster, apparently covered in blood and semen. However, Kathy is still missing and no-one even knows if she is living or dead...in fact no-body has evem been charged with her disappearance. There had been a certain amount of insinuation that Steele had been involved, but that's just not a situation Bolitar can take even remotely seriously. The tragedy hasn't ended there for the Culver family, though. Three nights before the book's opening, Kathy and Jessica's father had also been killed - in what the police believe to have been a botched robbery. As if Myron wasn't involved enough, via his client, it turns out that Jessica is an ex-girlfriend. Things had apparently ended on a sour note, though. As a result, Esperanza Diaz - formerly Little Pocahontas of the Fabulous Ladies of Wrestling circuit and currently Bolitar's PA - positively despises her.

Things are about to take a slightly difficult turn though : somebody mails a saucy magazine to Christian, with a particular advertisement highlighted. The advert, for a rather risque chatline ($3:99 a minute), features Kathy Culver in the picture. Furthermore, the handwriting on the envelope - which was posted on-campus - is an apparent match for Kathy's.When Jessica stops by asking for help, the multi-talented young sports agent is dragged even further into the mystery. Jessica thinks there is some connection between Kathy's disappearance and her father's death. The cop's disagree - even her father's closest friend, "Uncle" Paul Duncan. Naturally, Myron decides to help her out anyway.

An enjoyable enough book overall, though there is quite a bit of daftness to it. Bolitar was a hugely promising basketball player, until his career was destroyed by injury. Despite taking 16 months to walk again, he quickly joined the FBI and reported only to the very highest levels. Furthermore, he is now (amazingly) a third degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. Our hero's ever-faithful sidekick is called Windsor Horne Lockword III, a gentleman who proves to be the deadliest nerd alive. He is also an ex-Fed, and now helps Bolitar out in his new career as an all-action Sports Agent. An easy read, though no classic.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Outstanding - I love Myron Bolitar, Juil 13 2004
Par Trouble (Hartford, CT) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Deal Breaker (Mass Market Paperback)
I only have one thing to say - DO NOT MISS THIS BOOK !
It's sharp, clever, suspenseful, funny, and a whole other slew of adjectives. (It also has a little bit of sports in it - and I love sports, but you don't have to be a sports fan to enjoy this book throughly.)
If you like mysterys/thrillers, you MUST read this story. Stop reading this review and buy this book and start reading,RIGHT NOW! :)

5.0étoiles sur 5 Amazing read!, Mai 21 2004
Par Denny Gibbons (Champaign, IL USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Deal Breaker (Mass Market Paperback)
If you enjoy mystery, great plot twists, witty dialogue, and incredibly memorable and likeable characters, read this novel and every novel in the Myron Bolitar series!

This is the first in a series of seven books about sports agent Myron Bolitar, who, because of his investigative background in the FBI, is frequently called upon by his clients to solve crimes that are too risky or unfounded to take to the police. Myron, accompanied by his partner Win, a blue-blooded yuppie with a devastatingly brutal side, sets out to investigate when one of his clients receives a disturbing phone call from his girlfriend who had been murdered years before. The result is an action-packed explosion of intriguing characters, great plot developments, and hilarious dialogue.

All in all, a great book and well worth your time if you're a mystery fan.
