This is another cliff hanger by Coben. He'll have you changing your mind several times about whether the missing girl is alive or dead?? If she's dead, what happened to her and who's responsible? Myron is a sports agent and a detective. He's responsible for getting to the bottom of her disappearance since the matter is a smear on his client's stellar reputation. If you've read any of the Myron Bolitar books, you'll know his sense of style and humor. He cracks me up...
It's hard to put this one down. But I was almost sorry when it ended. However, now I can get started on the next one...I gave it 5 stars!!!!!

Sports Agent Myron Bolitar is on the verge of getting a big contract for Star Quarterback Christian Steele. Negotiations are moving along fine until Christian receives a call from his missing and presumed dead girlfriend, Kathy Culver. While Myron and his business partners try to figure out just what happened to Kathy, a mob contract has been put out on Myron's head.
This is the first book in Harlan Coben's Myron Bolitar series and it's a winner. There are lots of suspects and lots of story threads there are all tied up into a neat bow at the end of the story. The characters, even the minor ones, are all well-drawn which adds depth to the story. Myron is witty and sarcastic. I love his humor. I'm also fascinated with his sidekick Win Lockwood. I'll definitely be reading more of this series. My rating: 5 Stars.

Sports agent Myron Bolitar is poised on the edge of the big time. So is Christian Steele, a rookie quarterback and Myron's prized client. But when Christian gets a phone call from a former girlfriend, a woman who everyone, including the police, believes is dead, the deal starts to go sour. Trying to unravel the truth about a family's tragedy, a woman's secret, and a man's lies, Myron is up against the dark side of his business—where image and talent make you rich, but the truth can get you killed. 1st in the Myron Bolitar series.
