Myron Bolitar might have a slightly dubious past, but he knows how to handle himself and is doing just fine as a sports agent.
And then he meets Brenda Slaughter, one of the hottest female sports stars around. She's gorgeous, funny and single, and also seems to have mislaid her agent.But when her father disappears, and the Mob starts leaning on her, it soon becomes apparent that potent forces are at work. And the more Myron tries to help, the closer he gets to losing his heart - and his life...Coben lifts his thriller into classier company by chewing over some serious race and gender issues * DAILY MIRROR *
Immensely enjoyable, and Myron is an amiable hero . . . They are also superbly plotted, pulling you down unexpected by-ways with apparent ease. This is Coben's great ability. He can twist a plot (usually involving dark secrets from the past) in ways that leave you breathless * DAILY TELEGRAPH *
Coben has a unique kind of genius that's rare in the thriller genre. He laces his narrative and dialogue with killer irony and sarcastic black humour, without detracting from the teeth-clenching suspense that kicks off right from page one. If you like your books edgy and with a sardonic twist, whatever you do don't miss this one * DAILY RECORD *
The pleasures of the book lie in Coben's expert plotting and the sense that the rug might be pulled from under you at any moment * INK *
Harlan Coben specialises in rousing the snake that lurks in the perfectly cut grass of American suburbia ... Coben makes you care about them but never neglects a plot that is full of his trademark shocks * SUNDAY TELEGRAPH *
