Publisher's summary

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.

Critic reviews

"A superb book!" ( Christian Science Monitor)
"Fast-moving, funny - an altogether good listen!" ( Los Angeles Times)
"Consistently entertaining...Coben moves himself into the front ranks of mystery fiction alongside heavy hitters like Robert B. Parker, Sue Grafton, and Robert Crais." ( Houston Chronicle)

another great book

I can't say enough about how surprised I was at the end. Win once cousin great job again.

UNBELIEVABLE.....WOW....

What can I say?
This was another great Myron Bolitar novel by Harlen Coben. The dialog is witty as always. What I enjoyed in this book is the personal growth of Myron.

SPOILERS.....


I figured he would always be Jessica's little abused puppy that always came back no matter how much she abused him. Nope not anymore. He really loved Brenda and they would've been a great match.

Comic book characters. Soap opera plot and twists.

I've enjoyed many of Coben's mysteries, but this one is a bit over the top, more complicated than a never-ending, daytime TV soap. Although Coben can write well and is often humorous, I think this will be the last of the Myron Bolitar series I will read.

Coben is a cut above

This book is complex and brilliant as is it’s creator. It’s best for walking or conscious listening not night listening when you can fall asleep. It requires your brain to keep track and it’s worth it otherwise you end up listening to the parts you’ve already heard again. This too is ok, & fun!

Great series

Love the book and the narrator. Keep them coming. Would like to see more of the shelter series as well. Looking forward to more from this author

Good story

loved it! it was good story with an unexpected ending. which is to be expected from coben

Myron & Wynn Kick It Again!

Great Suspense Novel, the plot development and the characters, have a way of keeping you on the edge of your seat! kudos to Coben, can't wait to listen to the next in this series...

Great

I love this series and have not read anything except excellent stories from this author. I intend to read his entire catalog

Great storyline. A little sad for me, but extremely well written, and performed.

I always like the Myron and Mickey stories, they grip my attention right from the start!

So Far The BEST in this Wonderful Series!

Jonathan Marosz creates Harlen Coben's cast with haunting power.... I cannot imagine Myron Bolitar or any of the ensemble through another filter.

Look... this series is so great that you really should start from the first and work toward the VERY HIGH LEVEL of 'One False Move'. Coben's characters grow through this series. While this book does, I suppose, stand upon its own bottom, why not enjoy the evolving nuances?

Sports agent and attorney Myron Coben deepens with each new tale's pressures. There's a maturation happening to the entire ensemble... I recommend each of the steps. And by the way... don't let the sports aspect deter you. None of the novels so far has repeated a sport and the author provides everything the reader needs to navigate each plot.
