Amazon.com Review
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.
Product Description
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....
From the Paperback edition.

 My Favorite auther October 21, 2008
I love, love, love Harlen Coben's books/writing. The Myron series is just the best and I look forward to him returning them to paper. You won't be disappointed in this, or the other reads. From the first paragraph to the last, it is a page turner. And the humor that comes from Myron and his co-stars is just icing on the cake.
one false move October 13, 2008
I couldn't put this book down! I finished it in two days. Myron Bolitar fans will be pleased!
 another good one September 1, 2008
another good coben novel.....I can't wait to read them all, we pass them around in the office.
Maybe the best MB novel August 30, 2008
You really should read the Myron Bolitar novels in order to see the characters evolve. This book has all the trademarks of all the MB books-its hilarious, action packed, unpredictable, and satisfies at the end. I don't know if there is a better series out there than Myron Bolitar.
My Favorite Bolitar Novel So Far July 7, 2008
ONE FALSE MOVE is the fifth novel in Harlan Coben's "Myron Bolitar" series about a sports agent who solves crimes related to his clients. I think it's the best in the series so far.
I read a ton of thrillers, and Coben is one of the most consistently entertaining writers in the genre. He's a first-class plotter, and his characters are both funny and endearing. While Coben is best known for his more recent standalone thrillers, his Bolitar novels are also well worth seeking out.
ONE FALSE MOVE, in particular, showcases Coben's many strengths: it is very tightly written, moves like lightning, and is both funny and suspenseful. There are also several moments, involving Bolitar's personal life, that are quite emotionally touching. Overall, this is a first class effort by a great storyteller.
Although you can read the Bolitar novels in any order, I recommend reading them in sequence (starting with DEAL BREAKER) to maximize your enjoyment.
