I first heard of Harlan Coben three years ago. A very young work colleague was reading one of his books. I don't know about you, but when I see people reading a book, I must find out what book they're reading. Anyway, long story short, this young dude said that the only books he's read and will ever read are Harlan Coben's novels. I asked, what happens if the author dies? He said he'd stop reading. I kid you not! So, since I didn't think very highly of that dude, I thought Harlan Coben must be aMy first Harlan Coben book! I can't even belive it myself. This was a quick read paced with drama, black belt jujitsu, and sarcastic wit. Myron Bolitar is admirable as our ex-pro basketball player turned investigator. He now is a sports agent representing the hottest quarterback around. He gets involvted in a missing persons case that directly impacts the star player and his career. This was a great introduction to Coben and I enjoyed being twisted and turned around while reading this one.
3.5>4★I laugh in the face of death, Myron replied. Well, maybe not laugh. More like a snicker. A quiet snicker.Jesus, youre a lunatic.And I wouldnt do it directly in deaths face. So its more like a quiet snicker behind his back.Hes not a lunatic, but his pal Win might be. Myron Bolitar, (who has never forgiven his parents for his name, he says), is a sports agent on a quest to get his star football player signed up with the best contract possible. Myron was a star basketball player himself
A comment on one of my progress reviews from one of my friends sums up this book nicely "I love Myron!". An easy to like protagonist who is a sportsagent, a good guy with a background of working with the FBI and with a legal background. He had ethics! I didn't enjoy this one as much as Six Hours, but still an enjoyable read.I like this authors style of writing, bits of serious stuff, but never losing the 'cool', or maybe this was just Myron?! I found it funny reading about the young and talented
Myron Bolitar (who is 31) is a sports agent. He has worked for the FBI in the past, and is an ex-jock (former basketball player) whose sports career ended after he suffered an injury. One of Myron's clients, Christian Steele (a good looking quarterback), calls Myron and asks if Myron can come to his dorm where he lives on campus at Reston University. Christian shows Myron a porn magazine he received and he believes that his missing girlfriend/fiancé (Kathy Culver) may still be alive because she
I used to read a lot of mystery thrillers way back before goodreads days so I'd forgotten how much fun they can be. But I don't ever remember them having as much cheeky humour in them. I liked Myron (despite the tragic name). He added a lot of witty sarcasm and kept this from being a humdrum story. It left me definitely wanting more!
Surprisingly good! I enjoyed this first Myron Bolitar mystery by Coben enough to pick up the next, and that's saying something.Myron Bolitar is a sports agent on the verge of breaking into the big leagues. He is representing a rookie quarterback, Christian Steele. One night Christian gets a mysterious phone call from his ex-fiance, who is believed to be dead. Then pictures of her surface in a raunchy magazine for a phone sex line, and thus begins a wild goose chase. Is Christian's fiance alive,
