Valerie Simpson is a young female tennis star with a troubled past who's now on the verge of a comeback and wants Myron as her agent. Myron, who's also got the hottest young male tennis star, Duane Richwood, primed to take his first grand slam tournament, couldn't be happier. That is, until Valerie is murdered in broad daylight at the U.S. Open and Myron's number one client becomes the number one suspect.

Clearing Duane's name should be easy enough. Duane was playing in a match at the time of Valerie's death. But why is his phone number in Valerie's black book when he claims only to have known her in passing? Why was she calling him from a phone booth on the street? The police stop caring once they pin the murder on a man known for having stalked Valerie and seen talking to her moments before the murder. But Myron isn't satisfied. It seems too clean for him.

Myron pries a bit and finds himself prying open the past where six years before, Valerie's fiancee, the son of a senator, was brutally murdered by a juvenile delinquent and a straight-A student was subsequently gunned down on the street in retaliation, his death squandered in bureaucratic files. And everyone from the Senator to the mob want Myron to stop digging.

The truth beneath the truth is not only dangerous, it's deadly. And Myron may be the next victim.

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.

Listener Opinions

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Steve Anderson | 2/18/2014

    " I guess if I would have made this my first Myron Bolitar book I would have had a different impression. It doesn't lack the action, wit and plot twists of a typical Bolitar novel but it did become somewhat predictable. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Gloria | 2/14/2014

    " This was a relatively quick read and I actually liked it better than I thought I would when I first started it. It kept me guessing and threw me some real surprises, and that is always rather fun. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Aurora | 2/11/2014

    " It was a good book because I didn't figure it out until almost the end - however, it wasn't a great book. "

  • 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5 Angela | 2/6/2014

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Tracy | 1/19/2014

    " This is one of the Myron Bolitar series of books. These books are very entertaining with mystery intertwined. Set mostly in NYC, but also references to Philadelphia Main Line. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Sam | 1/18/2014

    " This is the second of Harlan Coben's, Myron Bolitar series. I really enjoyed this one. The twists and turns in this one are even more hard to figure out than the first book and the further development of the main characters is fantastic. I am now wondering what more can happen and how much more we get to learn. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 M.D. | 4/22/2012

    " The second Myron Bolitar, this time set in the world of tennis. A truly puzzling story, albeit with a somewhat last-minute ending. A few laugh-out-loud scenes with Myron's "rapier wit. "
