In this sixth novel in the award-winning Myron Bolitar series, Harlan Coben delivers a riveting powerhouse thriller—a twisting mystery of betrayal, family secrets, and murder.
Myron Bolitar’s colleague at MB SportsReps, Esperanza, has been arrested for the murder of a client, a fallen baseball star attempting a comeback. Myron is determined to prove Esperanza’s innocence—even if she won’t speak to him on the advice of her lawyer, who warns Myron to keep away from both the case and his client. But Myron is already too close, too involved, and has too much at stake. And the closer Myron gets to the truth, the more the evidence points to the only viable suspect besides Esperanza: Myron himself.

"Coben does it again with this installment of the Myron Bolitar series. This time our hero tackles not only the possibility that his business partner and best friend is either being framed for murder or possibly even committed it herself, but he takes on his own demons of guilt, depression, and realizing that his parents aren't going to be around forever. It has everything you expect from this series: mind blowing plot twists, witty characterization, plenty of pop culture references, and of course a brilliantly woven mystery. It was touching to see Myron remember his first big time baseball game as well as the memories he had about his father. Coben really writes as though we are there with Myron, mourning the loss of two loves in his life as well as looking for comfort for both that as well as the demons that haunt him regarding his actions (or lack there of) in the previous book. A great read, mystery lovers please investigate this series!"

If you've been entertaining doubts about the future of the mystery--fuhgeddaboutit! It's in good hands with Harlan Coben.
— Lawrence BlockCoben displays all the right moves . . . snappy dialogue, fast pacing, neat plotting. . . . Myron's some serious competition for Robert Parker's Spenser.
— Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionThe world needs to discover Harlan Coben. He's smart, he's funny and he has something to say.
— Michael ConnellyCombines Chandler's wry wit with Ross Macdonald's moral complexity.
— Philadelphia InquirerPoignant and insightful . . . Myron is gallant, likable and delightfully original.
— Los Angeles Times" First, I get a kick out of the dated references. This one had more Win, so I liked that. Overall, I just enjoy this series. "
— Tracey, 2/14/2014" There is no such thing as a bad Myron Bolitar book !! "
— Vanillahugz, 2/12/2014" One of the weaker in the series. Still good but I didn't feel like I cared as much for the characters as I have in the previous books. Looking forward to the next one. "
— Rjames1999, 1/13/2014" Although I like this series, this was not my favorite book in the series. "
— Pam, 1/7/2014" This was a quick, easy read. Coben books always seem to come through with interesting characters, humor and enough twists to keep me turning the pages. "
— Megan, 12/28/2013" This is like an addiction "
— Mark, 12/26/2013" Had a hard time getting through this one...least favorite of his books. "
— Gabriella, 12/18/2013" Although I still really enjoy this series, I think that Coben has a tendency to go off on too many tangents at times. This was one of those cases. This was not my favorite Bolitar novel, but I still found myself laughing out loud on his commentary of human nature. "
— Cindy, 11/27/2013" Seemed to start out ok but the ending was terrible if honest :( "
— Carol, 10/31/2013" The main character is suppose to be a real "funny-guy" and i thought he was a bit of a loser, did not connect with him and really didn't care about solving the murder. "
— Leah, 7/10/2013" 6th Myron Bolitar "
— Michelle, 12/6/2012" Enjoyable. Twisted tale for sure. There is so much going on, and you'll really have a hard time trying to solve this one on your own. "
— Anjie, 7/28/2012" Gave up, unfinished.... "
— Caroline, 4/13/2012" Damn. This is what happens when you randomly select a book from a pile of old books - you end up with the sixth installment. =_= "
— Dija, 3/6/2012" trash, but good trash. great dialogue. can get through one of these in a day. "
— Sarah, 2/10/2012" Another fun read in the Myron bolitar Sports Agent series. "
— Nancy, 11/1/2011" I quite enjoyed it. A good Myron Bolitar story. "
— Rick, 8/25/2011" A good book, but not my favorite Myron Bolitar story. At least read One False Move before starting with this one. "
— Kenny, 6/12/2011" I liked it. The first half of the book was maddening. The second half less so. The ending almost seemed like a let down as it was so complex that I'm still not sure I understood it. "
— Courtney, 5/22/2011" Audio Book. I like Myron Bolitar. I read this book out of order so I felt a little unsure of some details. Before this one I had only read Drop Shot. Evidently Myron broke up with Jessica (who I remember as his ex-girlfriend and then girlfriend in Dro "
— Jake, 5/6/2011" Totally kept me guessing until the end! I love Myron Bolitar... "
— Cindy, 5/1/2011" Aie!!! cette fois, Myron a du fil à retordre et on a mal pour lui! A lire évidemment! mais Jessica nous manque! cette fois, c'est bien fini! "
— Vanessa, 4/30/2011" When I'm in the mood for a mystery, I nearly always enjoy Harlon Coben's books. This was no exception. "
— Rita, 4/27/2011" Coben has produced another winner :) "
— Christine, 4/11/2011" Okay, I've become a big fan of this series. Its Myron to the rescue in this book even when his friends don't ask. Myron is the true definition of a friend. As well as being responsible for his acitions. "
— Jill, 4/9/2011" This was OK, but I guess I've been spoiled by the Jack Reacher books. I thought that the story was fine, and it was a quick easy read, but it didn't have the intensity of some of other Coben books. Bolitar is a good character, but Jack Reacher leaves him in the dust. "
— Mike, 3/30/2011" 2nd time I've read this and I actually liked it better this time. A good old fashioned who done it really, with Esperanza being in trouble - arrested for murder - and Myron and Win doing what they do best as they have to help. "
— Curlyhair, 3/27/2011" Myron Bolitar is a fun character. A sports agent crime solver. Probably worth trying a few just to get to know Myron and his best friend Win. A potato chip read. "
— Jennifer, 3/19/2011" Not my favorite of the series so far by a long stretch, but still had a good surprise ending a la Coben. I was happy for the Yankees to be a part of this book, as a true Yankees fan- but this story just didn't grab me like the other Myron books have. "
— Courtney, 3/13/2011" I think this was my favorite of the Bolitar series - good philosophical roots to this one. "
— Jayne, 2/9/2011" Poor Myron needs a break. "
— Abby, 1/24/2011" Another Myron Bolitar book and as readable as all the others. Plot just a shade unconvincing but it rattles along at a good pace and the first-person-up-close treatment is perfect for the character. Just the kind of material for the airport or bus. "
— Mike, 1/22/2011" A good book, but not my favorite Myron Bolitar story. At least read One False Move before starting with this one. <br/> "
