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 … 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….

Myron Bolitar is one of the most engaging heroes in mystery fiction. One False Move is a blast from start to finish.
OMG didn’t see that endng coming. Harlan Coben is must read for me. This book was no exception. If you like twists ths book is one for you. Can’t wait for the next Myron adventure
As with all Harlan’s books this was another fast-paced, page turning classic. Fantastic author.
I’d read reviews about Coben being an exceptional mystery writer, and this adventure proved that point. Memorable characters, engagingly written and an ending that I didn’t see coming, although the bread crumbs became evident after the fact.
Did not come up to authors usually standards.
A gifted writer who makes even small every day happening a novel in and of itself
He’s a wonderful, prolific author. This is another winner!
Liked the characters. I’m a fan of Myron and Win. Was really surprised by the ending.
Not his best!
An intricate mystery that is one of Coben’s best of this series. Each novel builds off the next so if you haven’t read book one it’s a good time to grab this one on your Kindle, Nook or Kobo and start a well-woven series from the beginning.
Hohenzollern is the BEST!
He is among my favorite authors for his characters, his plots, his writing style!
I can’t get enough of Myron and his best friend Win. Will there be anymore novels in this series?
This is about a sports agent and his sidekicks who are a former ladies wrestler turned receptionist and a financial whiz, Win, who knows martial arts. Myron is a bit of a wiseass and this gets him in trouble. Win often has to help him out of his jams.
I love all books by this author
Harlan Coben is an incredibly descriptive writer, you immediately feel what Myron is dealing with, his childhood home being sold, his dad in ill health, and the pressure to sign this female basketball star. The cast of characters is, as always some known, and few unknowns to mix it up.
I read all Coben
Great read
I really love the writing of Harlan Coben. This book ranks right there with the others I have read
He always writes a great book
