The home was top-notch New Jersey suburban. The living room was Martha Stewart. The basement was Legos--and blood. For sports agent Myron Bolitar, the disappearance of a man hed once competed against was bringing back memories--of the sport he and Greg Downing had both played and the woman they both loved. Now, among the stars, the wanna-bes, the gamblers and groupies, Myron is unraveling the strange, violent life of a sports hero gone wrong, and coming face-to-face with a past he can't relive, and a present he may not survive.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.
Industry Reviews "Cohen, the winner of this year's Bouchercon Award for his last paperback, `Drop Shot,' is a keen social observer, and Myron's lethal yuppie sidekick, Windsor Horne Lockwood III, is a hoot." Los Angeles Times Book Review - Margo Kaufman (11/10/1996)
