Publisher Description

Kidnappers have snatched the teenage son of super-star golfer Linda Coldren and her husband, Jack, an aging pro, at the height of the U.S. Open. To help get the boy back, sports agent Myron Bolitar goes charging after clues and suspects from the Main Line mansions to a downtown cheaters' motel--and back in time to a U.S. Open twenty-three years ago, when Jack Coldren should have won, but didn't. Suddenly Myron finds himself surrounded by blue bloods, criminals, and liars. And as one family's darkest secrets explode into murder, Myron finds out just how rough this game can get.

In stories 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 appearance.

"I love Harlan Coben, and saw this book on the shelves int he library as a 7-day loan. Thinking it was a new one, I took it out. Was written in 1997, so not sure why it's a seven day loan. Not nearly as good as his more recent work, but entertaining. His characters are always interesting. "

    " I have not read the Harlan Coben books in order - this is one of his earlier works. Coben seems to go overboard with the complex plot and twists here, but it's still very entertaining and Myron Bolitar remains a great hero to follow. "

    " Once again a great Myron book. My only disappointment was I felt a little rushed at the end of the book and somewhat wished there was a little more to the Win story. I'm going to hope that was deliberate and will find out more in the next book. "
