An older Myron Bolitar novel, in which the sports agent gets caught up in the apparent kidnapping of the son of a golfer who is on the verge of winning his first major tournament. His best friend, the guy usually in charge of protecting his physical safety, has a personal connection to the golfer and refuses to help, so Myron gets in over his head. Not as polished as more recent Coben novels, but also not as reliant on coincidence and elaborate conspiracy; the seeds are there, but as seeds they’re more plausible. (  ) rivkat | Sep 5, 2009 |  murder at the golf course - a Myron Bolitar Novel (  ) NannyN | Aug 13, 2009 | Best Myron Bolitar story, great characters (  ) mrnazer | Jul 23, 2009 | Like Myron and Harlan Coben I enjoy golf 'about as much as sticking' my 'tongue in a fan' but despite all that still managed to enjoy this book. Win is around, but is not helping Myron because the investigation involves his family, but it does mean that eventually learn a little more about him. Esperanza steps into the breach, which is good because Myron isn't that great on his own. Coben's trademarks are all here and there is an exellent twist at the end. ( ) riverwillow | May 4, 2009 | To me this book was like watching a Colombo movie, it was slow a laborious to read. I like my books to be more believable. It did however of plenty of twist and turns to the storey. So lovers of the Colombo genre movie will probably love this novel. I have enjoyed past books of Cobens that I have read but this has really encouraged me to take him off my list of to read authors. (  ) susanbunny | Dec 31, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review
