Deal Breaker

The First Myron Bolitar Novel

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. 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.

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.©1995 Harlan Coben; (P)2006 Books on Tape

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A mystery thriller with all the right stuff, intrigue, suspense, romance and humor . . . Coben keeps you in suspense from beginning to end."—The Newark Tribune

"Like fellow wise-cracking P.I.'s Spenser and Elvis Cole, Myron Bolitar is great fun in the best hard-boiled tradition."—Houston Chronicle

Wish I found this Author earlier

Interesting plot. Well performed. Great characters. Many of the one liners from the main character has me laughing out loud at the gym. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Great twists and turns

A fun read. Love the sarcastic banter, laughed out loud many times. Great reader did all characters perfectly especially Win. Would recommend.

great book

great book. funny and the ending was a bit of a plot twist. would reccomend.

Good, but not as witty as it thinks it is

A good mystery, very enjoyable to listen to. The narrator strikes the right note for the detective's modern take on a Sam Spade-type wiseass. But there's the problem. The witty asides are lame and silly, too numerous, and they just don't work. Apart from that, I'd recommend it to any fan of Patterson or Deaver

Excellent first meeting

I have read Myron Bolitar books but Jonathon Marosz does an excellent job of bringing them to life for me. his interpretation of my favorite characters is EXCELLENT!! thank you Harlan Coben for creating such wonderfully flawed characters. (except Jessica. I don't like her one bit)
