Publisher Description

She's smart, beautiful, and she doesn't need a man to look after her. But sports agent Myron Bolitar has come into her life—big time. Now Myron's next move may be his last. . .  Brenda Slaughter is no damsel in distress. Myron Bolitar is no bodyguard. But Myron has agreed to protect the bright, strong, beautiful basketball star. And he's about to find out if he's man enough to unravel the tragic riddle of her life. Twenty years before, Brenda's mother deserted her. And just as Brenda is making it to the top of the women's pro basketball world, her father disappears too. A big-time New York sports agent with a foundering love life, Myron has a professional interest in Brenda. Then a personal one. But between them isn't just the difference in their backgrounds or the color of their skin. Between them is a chasm of corruption and lies, a vicious young mafioso on the make, and one secret that some people are dying to keep—and others are killing to protect.... Praise for One False Move “Fast-moving, funny—an altogether good read!”Los Angeles Times “Consistently entertaining . . . Coben moves himself into the front ranks of mystery fiction alongside heavy hitters like Robert B. Parker, Sue Grafton and Robert Crais.”Houston Chronicle “Must read . . . combines Chandler's wry wit with Ross Macdonald's moral complexity.”Philadelphia Enquirer “A superb book!”Christian Science Monitor

"Book 5 in the Myron Bolitar series by Harlan Coben. Myron is hired to bodyguard the star player in a new women's professional basketball league. Brenda's mother went missing 20 years ago. Her father went missing a week ago. And now someone is making threatening telephone calls to her. Brenda doesn't want a bodyguard, she just wants Myron to find her mother. Myron has to deal with the mafia trying to start a rival women's basketball league. He also must deal with the millionaire family of the man running for governor, and the candidate's (possibly murdered) dead wife. In the end, several more people end up dead, Myron is threatened, kidnapped, threatened some more, and (finally) solves the disappearances and murders. This is not a book with any happy endings, but that is not a criticism, it is a recommendation - most books of this type take the easy out, and everyone lives happily after, this is a nice change. The more of Coben's works I read, the more I like them."

    " So, SO much better than the last Bolitar novel (Back Spin). That one was an absolute throw-away that I forgot as soon as I finished. This one is wonderful. It would be helpful to know the background of all of these terrific recurring characters, but it's strong enough to stand on its own. Restored my faith in the Bolitar series and I look forward to the #6. "
