Publisher's summary

In the second Myron Bolitar novel from Edgar Award winner Harlan Coben, a young woman’s tragic death spirals into a shattering drama of menace, secrets, and rage. Suddenly Myron is in over his head—and playing the most dangerous game of all.

“Coben is simply one of the all-time greats.”—Gillian Flynn

Once, Valerie Simpson’s tennis career skyrocketed; now, the headlines belong to a player from the wrong side of the tracks. But when Valerie is shot dead in cold blood and dropped outside the stadium at the U.S. Open, sports agent Myron Bolitar investigates the killing and uncovers a connection between the two players and a six-year-old murder at an exclusive mainline club. As Myron is drawn into the case—along with a dirty U.S. senator, a jealous mother, and the mob—he finds himself caught between a killer and the truth.

Critic reviews

"The prose is lean, the story moves briskly, and the dialogue crackles...great fun in the best 'hard-boiled' tradition." (Houston Chronicle)

The complexity of the crimes.

Myron Bolatar has become my favorite mystery author even though I am not a tennis nor golf fan or player. Myron’s witty repartee sprinkles his
Books with laugh-out-loud humor. I’m looking forward to his next audio book.

Great story and characters

This was the first Myron Bolitar book to which I listed, and the series is so good I'm listening to it again. Never done anything like that.

narrator

I prefer Steven Weber as a narrator. Maybe it's because I heard him first, but I think there is more inflection in his voice and more humor, and I find that more enjoyable.

One of Coben’s best!

You’re guaranteed a great read with Harlan Coben. Outstanding, humorous dialogue & intriguing plots keep you glue to the storyline. Recommend it highly.

Another good Myron book

While I enjoy Corben's writing, especially the colorful characters and twisty plots, these books have not aged well. Old technologies and old ideologies lock these in the past, so newer and younger readers would probably not enjoy them much. I like the nostalgia of some things, and it was an overall interesting story. Unfortunately, I guessed the final twist pretty early on, so the climax was a wee less exciting than it might have otherwise been.

Kept us guessing to the very end

Excellent story telling, as usual. LOVE the reader of these books. Harlan Coban never disappoints us. We listen on our cross country road trips. Definitely gets us down the road.
