Product Description
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.

 Buyer beware September 2, 2008
This is a great book BUT pay attention. It is a REPRINT of a book first published in 1996. I was so excited to see a NEW RELEASE Myron book I didn't notice. Personally, I think they should have to state such IN LARGE PRINT on the cover.
 Tremendous! August 3, 2008
This was my 2nd MB novel to read, and they are just flat out fun. They are just as good as Coben's other books, but they are funnier and they have a much more positive outlook. This book is a quick read yet it still has a tremendous and well thought out storyline. I especially loved the end, when it all came back to tie to Myron. Tremendous.
 enjoyable if not taken too seriously July 17, 2008

These novels are best when you take them for what they are. They are light mystery novels with a little bit of comedy and witty dialogue mixed in.
This is the third novel in the Myron Bolitar series (the first two are Deal Breaker and Drop Shot) and it follows basically the same formula. It isn't necessary, however, to read the first two to enjoy this one. Coben does a good job of constructing the novels with the ability for each one to stand on it's on if needed.
I enjoy the dialogue as much as anything else. Coben is able to keep me very entertained with the back and forth between his very original characters as we follow them through plot twists, turns, and suprises.
This novel is more sports based than the other two which made it that much more enjoyable to me.
A fun light read that doesn't take itself too seriously. You shouldn't either.
New fan and huge fan! Humorous, poignant, enjoyable. June 16, 2008

From the names of the characters to their twisted personalities and quirks, the Bolitar Series is brilliant. 5* for dry humor and wit. 5* for character development. 4* for plotting. A definite recommend.
 Myron back on the court May 31, 2008
Not the best Myron Bolitar novel, but Win, Esperanza and Big Cyndi are all there. Sometimes Coben's style of writing is enough to carry the plot. Worth reading.
