Book Description:
She's smart, beautiful, and she doesn't need a man to look after her. But sports agent Myron Bolitar has come into her life--big time. Now Myron's next move may be his last--
Brenda Slaughter is no damsel in distress. Myron Bolitar is no bodyguard. But Myron has agreed to protect the bright, strong, beautiful basketball star. And he's about to find out if he's man enough to unravel the tragic riddle of her life.
Twenty years before, Brenda's mother deserted her. And just as Brenda is making it to the top of the women's pro basketball world, her father disappears too. A big-time New York sports agent with a foundering love life, Myron has a professional interest in Brenda. Then a personal one. But between them isn't just the difference in their backgrounds or the color of their skin. Between them is a chasm of corruption and lies, a vicious young mafioso on the make, and one secret that some people are dying to keep--and others are killing to protect....

Great story, full of twists all the way to the end. Couldn't put it down until I finished the whole thing. Coben does it best with just the right amount of suspense and humor.
This book has some continuity with the Coben book that follows it called "The Final Detail". It's not necessary to read One False Move first in order to enjoy the other one, but it would, let's say, "enhance the experience".

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.

I just can't find any redeeming qualities in this book. Even the "good" guys are bad, very bad. The story is depressing, nobody really wins and there's just nothing uplifting at all about it. I should state that I am a fan of Harlan Coben, but not the Myron Bolitar books, and this one proved to be no exception. It's almost like they're written by a different author, or perhaps the author is just writing to a different audience. Or, in this case, perhaps the author was just really depressed? In any case, I'll read more Harlen Coban, but definitely no more Myron Bolitar stories. It certainly keeps your interest and is a quick read, but that's about all the positive I can give it. Goodbye Myron!

Page Turner! Once I started it, I couldn't put it down. I look forward to reading more in the series.

Ceylan G. (Another great installment in the Bolitar series! Coben keeps the pages turning and you in suspense throughout the entire read. I can never guess whodunit!
Myron agrees to represent a beautiful female basketball player as her sports agent and meanwhile try to protect her from death threats, while searching for her missing mother and father (or are they dead?) As usual, in a Harlan Coben book, you never really know what's going on until it finally all comes down. And meanwhile, it is difficult to put the book down. A wild ride!
myrom is the protector of a bright butiful confusing young girl. Womens pro basketball is the background corbin is a great writter and i dont evenn\ like sports
Fast Paced! Great Read. If you like Harlan Coben you will love this one. If you haven't read him- give it a try!
Myron Bolitar, sports agent, trys to protect women's basketball star Brenda Slaugher. Great book.
