(  ) yosbooks | Aug 12, 2009 |  Fantastic read and this is a significant book in the series as Myron makes some decisions that will change his life forever and finally grows up. Its also a cracking good thriller filled with Coben's trademark twists and turns, the last few pages literally had me gasping in surprise. Superb. (  ) riverwillow | May 5, 2009 | When Norm Zuckerman asks Myron Bolitar to keep an eye on Brenda Slaughter, Myron finds himself enmeshed in decades old secrets from the Slaughter family and the most powerful family in New Jersey. ( ) IsaacFry | Jan 17, 2009 | I can't get enough of this series. Yet another one that I just didn't see the end coming. Had some problems with the new love interest, not that I'm a big fan of Myron's regular love interest, Jessica. It just seemed a little too easy. I was glad to see Win come back in full force for this book, and happy to see Norm Zuckerman make a bit of a return - loved him in the last book. ( ) she_climber | Sep 4, 2008 | My enjoyment of this thriller was marred somewhat by the fact that I read it after a later one and knew something important that was going to happen. However it was a bloody good thriller nevertheless. ( ) litterate | Sep 1, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com (ISBN 0440225442, Mass Market Paperback)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.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:23 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
