Book Description:
Kidnappers have snatched the teenage son of super-star golfer Linda Coldren and her husband, Jack, an aging pro, at the height of the U.S. Open. To help get the boy back, sports agent Myron Bolitar goes charging after clues and suspects from the Main Line mansions to a downtown cheaters' motel--and back in time to a U.S. Open twenty-three years ago, when Jack Coldren should have won, but didn't. Suddenly Myron finds him self surrounded by blue bloods, criminals, and liars. And as one family's darkest secrets explode into murder, Myron finds out just how rough this game can get.
In novels that crackle with wit and suspense, Edgar Award winner Harlan Coben has created one of the most fascinating and complex heroes in suspense fiction--Myron Bolitar--a hotheaded, tenderhearted sports agent who grows more and more engaging and unpredictable with each page-turning appearance.

Great plot twists, keeps the reader hooked

I found Harlan Coben just last year and have read every single book he has on the market. I love his writing and the way he builds his characters. It is an absolute pleasure to read his books in order and see their progression.
originally I thought the sports aspect would be a turn-off for me, but it has so little to do with the story that it didn't bother me at all.
If you're looking for a quick, good, fun read, this is the book for you.

Myron Bolitar, sports agent, solves another mystery. This one involves the kidnapping of the son of clients-woman golfer Linda Coldren. Fast paced, easy read.

One of his best. Very good, I didn't figure it out until the very end.

This is the second Myron Bolitar book I've read. I enjoyed it but it was a little heavy on the sports (golf in this one). A professional golf family (both mother and father are pros) and the sixteen year old son is also an excellent golfer. The son gets kidnapped at the start of the US Open and Myron is hired to find him. Of course, Myron gets in over his head and all hell breaks loose.
Harlan Coben has a great use of cliches which are laugh out loud funny. Myron is comically sarcastic and Win has serious pyschopatic undertones. There are several twists and surprises. A great mystery that you think you have figured out and then whammo another twist. Keeps you guessing right up to the last page.
They even mention my old high school towards the end. How cool is that?
Average Myron Bolitar tale set at the US Open. Good dialogue, fine story, plenty of fun at golfers' expense.
3 stars out of 5
Jean L. (This is #4 of the Myron Bolitar series. Myron is in Pennsylvania for the US Open Golf Tournament.
Golf + revenge + sex + murder = another thrilling story. I loved the book.
If you like wisecracking, eccentric,detectives with a sports background, you'll love Myron Bolitar.
Karen S. (Sports agent Myron Bolitar unravels the mystery of the golf star's missing son.
Myron looks for the missing son of a golf superstar, and in the process uncovers skeleton's in the client's and in Win's closet. Trademark twists and turns (maybe a little to twisty) with some nice clarification of the elusive Win's background.
