Myron Bolitar has an unusual assignment. He has been asked to insure the safety of the star of a new women's basketball league. If he's lucky, she may decide to let him be her agent. Myron soon learns that watching over Brenda Slaughter isn't an easy task. She's beautiful, talented and smart, but her past is complicated. Her mother disappeared when she was five. There are some very dangerous people who seem to be hiding secrets about Brenda's family. Myron is determined to help Brenda in any way he can, even if he has to make some powerful people angry.
I am catching up on Harlan Coben's Myron Bolitar series. It is fun to see how the characters evolve into the place they are in his latest novels. This book was full of Myron's wisecracks and the help from his complex friend, Win. The book was a quick read, full of action and twists and turns. I truly didn't figure out who the killer was until the very end. Some of the bad guys were just a little flat, no dimension or surprises but overall, the book was good. I have to say, though, that I enjoyed his latest Myron Bolitar, PROMISE ME, even more than this one. I love it when an author gets better and better.
Rating - 4 stars
