Sinossi
Il primo grande trionfo di Myron Bolitar, ex campione di basket e con un passato nell’FBI, è diventare l’agente sportivo di Christian Steele, una delle più grandi promesse del football americano. Tutto sembra andare per il meglio, sino a quando Christian riceve una misteriosa telefonata da parte di Kathy Culver, la sua ex fidanzata, che tutti, polizia compresa, credevano morta. Ma quello non sarà che il primo di altri inquietanti episodi con cui Myron dovrà confrontarsi: l’assassinio del padre di Kathy e una foto compromettente della ragazza su una rivista porno recapitata al campus universitario. Myron vuole vederci chiaro; non solo perché in quella sordida vicenda è coinvolto il suo cliente, ma anche perché Adam Culver, oltre a essere il padre di Kathy, lo è anche di Jessica, la sua ex fidanzata, di cui lui è ancora innamorato.
Affiancato da collaboratori “d’eccezione”, come Win, l’amico di sempre, colto e raffinato, ed Esperanza, la scaltra e determinata segretaria, Myron deve seguire le piste più disparate per far venire a galla la verità. Ma solo per scoprire che tutte conducono a un’intricata rete di sesso, violenze e bugie. Per Myron, il rischio di rimanervi intrappolato è altissimo, ma ormai è troppo tardi per tirarsi indietro…

So, I finally got my hands on the Myron Bolitar debut case, which begins very close to home; indeed with his very own, about to hit the sporting big time client, which as a result has Bolitar himself on the cusp of greatness. One single phone call and the ensuing outcomes may put an end to it all. S Leggi tutto
”’Be extra careful,’ Win said. ‘The word has hit the streets.’‘What word?’‘A price has officially been put on your head,’ Win said, as if it were amusing cocktail conversation. ‘Thirty thousand dollars to the man who takes you out.’Myron made a face. ‘Thirty thousand? Hell, I used to be a fed. I sho Leggi tutto

3.5~4★“‘I laugh in the face of death,’ Myron replied. ‘Well, maybe not laugh. More like a snicker. A quiet snicker.’‘Jesus, you’re a lunatic.’‘And I wouldn’t do it directly in death’s face. So it’s more like a quiet snicker behind his back.’” He’s not a lunatic, but his pal Win might be. Myron Bolita Leggi tutto
Myron Bolitar was once a very promising NBA rookie out of Duke, where his team won two NCAA national championships. But a freak accident early in his rookie year abruptly ended his basketball career and changed the course of his life. He went to law school, then did a brief stint with the F.B.I., an Leggi tutto
Very entertaining. Glad I started this series and I will definitely be reading more. I was fun trying to figure out the mystery along with the characters. And, the fact that it was hilarious helped a lot, too!
I’ve been aware of Harlan Coben’s series of crime/mystery novels starring a sports agent named Myron Bolitar for some time but never read one because I thought it’d be something like Jerry Maguire crossed with Murder She Wrote . I figured Myron would always be tripping over dead baseball players kill Leggi tutto
