Back Spin

By: Harlan Coben

Narrated by: Jonathan Marosz

“Another winner . . . Pungent observations, indelibly drawn characters and a twisting, surprise-laden plot.”—Atlanta Journal and Constitution

Kidnappers have snatched the teenage son of super-star golfer Linda Coldren and her husband, Jack, an aging pro, at the height of the U.S. Open. To help get the boy back, sports agent Myron Bolitar goes charging after clues and suspects from the Main Line mansions to a downtown cheaters’ motel—and back in time to a U.S. Open twenty-three years ago, when Jack Coldren should have won, but didn't. Suddenly Myron finds him self surrounded by blue bloods, criminals, and liars. And as one family's darkest secrets explode into murder, Myron finds out just how rough this game can get.

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.

The plot

The way different threads of the story, by the end, it was all connected. I

Witty characters, fun story.

The best part of these Myron Bolitar books is the banter of the characters and the witty dialogue. The part I don’t like about all of them I’ve listened to so far is that the key facts to the mystery are not revealed until late in the book, which I feel is kind of cheating the reader.

I definitely enjoy the books and I will read the next one, but I always need to take a bit of a break between these books.

Brilliant narrator!

Gets into character and change his voice exactly the same every time! Great series, follow all the books-worth it!

It’s All About The MOTIVE

I love the members only 80% off sale as we get to choose what we like. I picked up a couple of the Myron Bolitar series, and this one had humor, well sarcasm, which I love. I think it takes a quick mine from an author to be able to write it well in a story.
Reviewer Shelly recommends you start a good series in order, I unfortunately very seldom do that, because I’m impatient, and generally read stories in the series that have the characters fully developed. Then when l run out of the bestsellers then l go back and fill in the series as l have done here. This story was a long one and I thought why is that hence my title!
Where my comments of help?

Very good plot twist again!

This is my 4th Myron Bolitar audio book and I really love them! I will be listening to them all!
